About this tag
The vl central contracts tag follows Microsoft’s transition from the eAgreements/Volume Licensing Contract Management (VLCM) portal to VL Central Contracts. Coverage centers on VLCM becoming read-only on July 10, 2026: partners can still view, search, and download records, but can no longer create, renew, or extend agreement packages there. Active non-Enterprise Agreement workflows tied to VLCM require an owner, status review, and migration decision in VL Central Contracts. The tagged discussion also tracks Microsoft’s guidance for the legacy system’s broader retirement, targeted for August 2026, and the need to move work before shutdown.
