 This article explains the common tasks that an Enterprise Agreement (EA) administrator accomplishes in the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_Azure_GTM/ModernBillingMenuBlade/AllBillingScopes). A direct enterprise agreement is signed between Microsoft and an enterprise agreement customer. Conversely, an indirect EA is one where a customer signs an agreement with a Microsoft partner. This article is applicable for both direct and indirect EA customers.
 
 > [!NOTE]
-> We recommend that both direct and indirect EA Azure customers use Cost Management + Billing in the Azure portal to manage their enrollment and billing instead of using the EA portal. For more information about enrollment management in the Azure portal, see [Get started with EA billing in the Azure portal](ea-direct-portal-get-started.md).
->
-> As of February 20, 2023 indirect EA customers no longer manage their billing account in the EA portal. Instead, they use the Azure portal.
+> On November 15, 2023, the Azure Enterprise portal is retiring for EA enrollments in the Commercial cloud and is becoming read-only for EA enrollments in the Azure Government cloud.
+> Customers and Partners should use Cost Management + Billing in the Azure portal to manage their enrollments. For more information about enrollment management in the Azure portal, see [Get started with EA billing in the Azure portal](ea-direct-portal-get-started.md).

-> Until August 14, 2023, this change doesn’t affect customers with Azure Government EA enrollments. They continue using the EA portal to manage their enrollment until then. However, after August 14, 2023, EA customers won't be able to manage their Azure Government EA enrollments from the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com). Instead, they can manage it from the Azure Government portal at [https://portal.azure.us](https://portal.azure.us). The functionality mentioned in this article the same as the Azure Government portal.
