Sage has partnered with Pax8 to help make the transition simpler for partners and customers. This gives partners a clear route to purchase SQL Server licenses in line with Microsoft’s broader distribution model.
Pax8 is a global cloud marketplace that helps technology providers discover, buy, manage, and sell cloud and AI solutions through a single platform.
From 1 August 2026, partners and customers who need new SQL Server licenses will use a Microsoft reseller route, including Pax8 where appropriate.
Our aim is to make the transition clear, manageable, and well supported so partners can continue to support customers with confidence.
Sage will share partner enablement, practical guidance, and FAQs to support partners and customers at each stage of the transition.
In the meantime, review the step-by-step guide to get started with the new Sage and Pax8 referral model.
