Create a Partner Center account
The Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program is a hub of people, resources, and offerings brought together to help you build and deliver successful solutions to your customers. You need to enroll in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program in Partner Center to get your PartnerID. The PartnerID is a unique identifier that links your AI agents extended using Agent 365 offer to your Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program account and enables you to manage your offers, track performance, and access support.
If you're new to Partner Center and don't have a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program account yet, follow the instructions in Create a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program account in Partner Center.
For answers to common questions about Partner Center accounts, see Manage Partner Center Account Q&A - Teams.
Enroll in the Microsoft 365 and Copilot program
The Microsoft 365 and Copilot program provides the resources and support you need to create and publish your AI agent extended using Agent 365 offers to Microsoft Marketplace. If your tenant is already enrolled in Partner Center with a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program account, you can use your current enrollments to join the Microsoft 365 and Copilot program.
When you enroll in a new program in Partner Center or change legal details in your profile, Microsoft verifies the information that you provide. Microsoft verifies three areas: Email Ownership, Employment, and Business.

Submit an AI agent extended using Agent 365 to Microsoft Marketplace

- The checklist in Prepare to publish to ensure that your offer is ready for submission.
- The validation guidelines to increase the likelihood of your offer passing the submission process.
- The Microsoft Marketplace general listing and offer policies to understand the policies your offer must comply with.
When your agent is ready, follow the Microsoft Marketplace step-by-step submission guide to submit your agent for validation. Regularly review your submission status in Partner Center and address any feedback or required changes promptly.
Two monetization models are supported:
Microsoft‑managed transactable model: Monetize an AI agent extended using Agent 365 by linking it to a SaaS offer and leveraging the same SaaS offer monetization capabilities. For guidance, see Monetize a Microsoft 365 agent.
Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model: If your agent uses the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model, don't include licenses. End users must use existing licenses or acquire them separately. To clearly communicate license requirements:
Enable Additional purchases during the product setup step.
Explicitly state license requirements in:
- The agent manifest description
- The Marketplace listing description
Example:
To use the Contoso Agent with Microsoft 365 Copilot or Microsoft Teams, you must have an active Microsoft 365 Copilot or Microsoft Teams license, along with a valid Contoso license. For more information, see example link.
