Microsoft periodically assesses the impact of its local pricing to ensure there is a reasonable alignment with the needs of customers, partners,
and the marketplace, and may make changes in response to its assessment and feedback.
Effective August 1, 2015, local prices for Azure and Azure Marketplace in Swedish kronor will increase by 17% percent to more closely align with prices in most markets.
Enterprise Agreements (EA), Enterprise Subscription Agreements (EAS), or Server and Cloud Enrollments (SCE)
Customers or partners who purchased Azure through Enterprise Agreements (EA), Enterprise Subscription Agreements (EAS), or Server and Cloud Enrollments (SCE) have price protection on currently offered Azure services and will receive
the better of their baseline price or the new market price. A customers or partners baseline price is the price at the beginning of their Azure agreement or the price a new Azure service was made generally available. New Azure services
will be priced at the then-current pricelist price.
Microsoft Online Services Agreement
Pay-As-You-Go subscriptions offer the flexibility of no minimum purchases or commitments. Prices under these subscriptions will increase effective August 1, 2015. If youre subscribed
to previously offered 6-month or 12-month plans, you have price protection and will receive the better of the price at the beginning of your subscription term or the current market price.
Azure in Open
Consumption rates will increase effective August 1, 2015.
