Cloud Essentials:New enrollment into Cloud Essentials will end with the February release. Cloud internal-use rights (IUR) for existing Cloud Essentials partners will expire June 30, 2014. To continue using cloud IUR benefits, partners must attain an Action Pack or a competency and transition their licenses to the new model, by no later than June 30, 2014.

Cloud Accelerate, Cloud Deployment, and Azure Circle:These programs remain in place after the February release, but will be retired in H1 FY15. We will allow new partners to join these programs until this time to enable partners to continue to earn Cloud Accelerator incentives. However, after the February 2014 launch, new partners must enroll in Action Pack or earn a competency to receive cloud internal-use rights.
