A startup civic tech lab needs only a few Microsoft 365 licenses quickly through the Microsoft web purchase experience. Which billing model fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Tiny lab, few seats, buy online from Microsoft—that is classic direct. You do not need a mega EA for a handful of licenses.
Full Explanation
Direct billing suits small or simple Microsoft 365 purchases made from Microsoft without EA volume structures or CSP partner intermediaries. Startup-scale civic labs often choose that path for speed and simplicity. Forcing EA or fake partners misstates the channel’s purpose.
