M365 Changelog: (Updated) Self-service purchase and trials of the Microsoft Clipchamp Premium add-on SKU

Summary

Microsoft Clipchamp Premium add-on SKU will allow users to start a trial or purchase with their credit card. The rollout will begin late June 2024 for targeted release and mid-July 2024 for standard release. Users will be charged for the license after the 30-day free trial. Organizations can disable self-service trials and purchases by running an Administrative PowerShell script.

MC711920 – Updated May 8, 2024: Microsoft has updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft Clipchamp will now allow users to start a trial or purchase a Clipchamp Premium add-on license with their credit card. Users will be able to use the Clipchamp Premium features free of charge for 30 days when they start their trial, after which they will be charged for the license.

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: Microsoft will begin rolling out late June 2024 (previously mid-March) and expects to complete by mid-July 2024 (previously late March).

General availability: Microsoft will begin rolling out mid-July 2024 (previously late March) and expects to complete by late July 2024 (previously early April).

How this will affect your organization:

This functionality enables users to begin using the premium features they need when they need them. The card will be charged for the license rather than adding extra cost to the current payment method for your tenant.

What you need to do to prepare:

If you would like to disable self-service trials and purchases, you are able to do so by running an Administrative PowerShell script on your Microsoft 365 tenant.
