It should be noted that the restrictions will affect all legal entities registered in the Russian Federation and all licensing channels (Enterprise and CSP).
The message recommends downloading data from the Microsoft cloud before the specified date. Softline, in turn, asked the American corporation for clarification. In particular, the company asks to provide a complete list of products and services, access to which will be limited.
Microsoft is also expected to respond to the issue of availability of data stored in the cloud. Softline also clarified the status of LSP and CSP agreements containing products subject to restrictions.
“As a support service, we are ready to provide until September 12, 2024: 10 hours of free technical support for advice on Microsoft products and technologies that are subject to restrictions,” Softline said in a statement.
Softline CEO Andrey Blagorazumov announced that Microsoft had begun suspending subscriptions for customers in the Russian Federation, in particular to CSP, as early as May 2024. Subscriptions to Power BI, Visio, and Project were then stopped.
