SharePoint Syntex Per User License End of Sale Notice

On June 30th, 2023 we’re retiring the SharePoint Syntex license. SharePoint Syntex was provided as a per user license that allowed access to Syntex services. Syntex is an add-on license and requires users also to have a license for Microsoft 365.

On July 1st, 2023, customers will no longer be able to purchase the per user license and will need to opt-in to Microsoft Syntex pay-as-you-go billing to continue using existing and new Syntex features. If you have current Syntex per user licenses, these will remain available along with its individual features through the duration of your term. You will be able to renew, if elected, prior to the end of your term.

Upcoming changes to the Power Apps Maker Portal admin settings

The Power Apps Maker Portal Learn Seach API utilizes a global endpoint, and the user search term is being sent to that endpoint. This could cause issues with European Union Data Boundary (EUDB) compliance as the user search term should stay within the user’s selected data boundary.
