Calculate your exposure estimate
Microsoft licensing costs are moving in 2026. Renewal timing matters, because decisions made now can set pricing for years, not months.
Codec helps you model your exposure, tighten your licensing structure, and choose a renewal approach that protects cost and flexibility before the July increase takes effect.

30 minutes. Clear numbers. No obligation.
Microsoft has confirmed pricing changes across 2026, including an FX alignment adjustment from February and a global increase from July. The detail varies by product and agreement type, but the commercial impact is consistent.
If you renew after the July change, you lock in the higher baseline. If you act earlier, you may be able to secure stronger terms and structure before that shift.
The opportunity window: Now until 30 June 2026
Use this window to quantify exposure, correct licensing structure, and make renewal decisions with leverage.
Many providers focus on getting licences onto an invoice. Codec approaches licensing as the commercial control layer of your Microsoft estate.
More flexibility and better commercial outcomes than buying direct.
February creates the movement. 30 June is the decision deadline. July locks the new baseline.
Sense-check whether renewal timing and contract structure could lock in a higher Microsoft baseline.
If you renew after July, you are more likely to lock the higher baseline. A quick model now gives you options rather than assumptions.
In most cases, licensing transitions can be handled with minimal disruption when planned correctly. We will confirm what applies to your specific setup.
A high-level view of your current licences and your renewal dates is usually enough to start. We will tell you exactly what to pull.
No. Cost matters, but so does control, compliance, and flexibility. A cheaper licence that blocks adoption or introduces risk is not a win.
You get the outputs. If there is a clear next step, we will recommend it. If there is not, we will say so.
