Publishers who moved from the China Cloud Partner Portal

You don't need to create a new Partner Center account. You should have received a link to your new Partner Center account both in email and in a banner notification after you signed in to your existing Cloud Partner Portal account.

After you login the Partner Center link and sign the commercial marketplace agreement (if not signed already), you can return to your account by going to the commercial marketplace dashboard in Partner Center.

Please note your user accounts and permissions are not moved to Partner Center, you will need ask your MCPP admin or global admin to add your user account and permission in Partner Center.
