Hi all
In the Entra External ID FAQs there is the following statement.
Effective May 1, 2025 Azure AD External Identities P1 and P2 will no longer be available to purchase for new customers, but current Azure AD B2C customers can continue using the product.
Although it mentions Azure AD B2C, billing for Azure AD B2C is commonly referred to in the docs as Azure AD B2C P1 and P2, rather than External Identities P1 and P2, so I am a little confused. Is anyone able to confirm whether or not this applies to Azure AD B2C, and if so could you clarify the conditions for who will and will not be able to create new Azure AD B2C tenants after this date?
Thanks in advance.

Hello @Vbking 7
Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.
It is the same. Previous AAD was renamed to Microsoft Entra ID, while AAD B2C service was changed to be part of Azure AD External Identities. Now, it is changed to Azure AD B2C again.
No, it is saying that the name of Azure AD external Identities P1 and P2 are no longer to be available purchase for customers. AAD B2C will still keep service until new announcement. The service plan has changed to new name
Azure AD B2C can continue to be used after 2025 May as it is now and can create a new tenant as well
I hope this clarifies things. Please contact us if you have any additional questions.

Thank your for the prompt response. It is reassuring to know that new customers will be able to create new tenants and use Azure AD B2C after May 2025. We have clients who will be starting new CIAM projects later in the year and the new Entra External ID product is not yet mature enough to meet their requirements.
