Save on your Microsoft Sentinel costs when you buy a pre-purchase plan. Pre-purchase plans are commit units (CUs) bought at discounted tiers in your purchasing currency for a specific product. The more you buy, the greater the discount. Purchased CUs pay down qualifying costs in US dollars (USD). So, if Microsoft Sentinel generates a retail cost of $100, then 100 Sentinel CUs (SCUs) are consumed.
