Starting on August 24, 2026, Microsoft is simplifying eligibility requirements for the Sales, Service, Finance, and Supply Chain specializations. Eligible deployments will be measured using monthly active users (MAU) instead of monthly consumption value (MCV), and the gross growth performance requirement is being removed.In addition, Microsoft Marketplace tags are also being refreshed to better align with current products. These updates are designed to align qualification requirements with market demand and apply across all four specializations, so there's no need to track separate changes for each one.
