- Purchasing and Licensing / Cloud Migration FAQs (retrieved 2026-08-31): Step-up credits — "To help you avoid double payment during your migration, qualified customers receive a credit equal to the pro-rated value of any unused Data Center subscriptions." Dual licensing — "We'll extend your Data Center subscription for up to 1 year at a 100% discount, so you can run your Data Center and Cloud apps in parallel while you transition." Same incentives restated on Data Center End of Life / Cloud licensing migration FAQs. Concrete computation: dual-license extension ≤ 1 year at 100% off DC; step-up credit = pro-rata unused DC value. Not a standing buying program.
