For years, some Microsoft customers have taken advantage of the subscription grace period—the short window after a license expires when services remain active without immediate payment. Many would let their subscription lapse, enjoy nearly a month of continued service, and then renew just before the deadline.
From April 1, 2026, that grace period will be eliminated. Microsoft is replacing it with a new Extended Service Term (EST) policy that changes how post-expiry access works for all license-based services across the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA-E), and Buy-Online channels.
Under the new rules, once a subscription expires and auto-renew is turned off, customers will no longer receive free access. Instead, they’ll need to choose one of the following options:
This means that customers who used to rely on the grace period as a cost-saving buffer will need to plan ahead and renew on time or pay for continued service under EST.
The new policy applies to:
If your Microsoft subscription renewal date falls after April 1, 2026, our Cobweb experts will guide you through this change to ensure uninterrupted service. We’ll help you understand your renewal options, manage your timelines, and avoid unexpected service disruptions. As your trusted Microsoft partner, we are here to ensure the transition to the new Extended Service Terms is clear, compliant, and seamless.

Features like watermarking, confidential virtual machines, and private links help safeguard sensitive data, no matter where your employees are working.
