I have been a SFDC since 1999 and have successfully completed multiple Org Swaps for clients that were backed into corners due to poor implementations or layers of Scar Tissue.
In 27 years I have never had an AE forced the client to purchase more than 1 license (of equal level (EE, UE) to provision the new Org. I have a situation now where a Non Profit Client (On UE NPSP) is being told by AE and his VP that the only way they will support an Org Swap is for the client to purchase 10 additional UE Sales Cloud Licenses in order for Ops to Provision the New Org.
Is this the new Policy at SFDC? In June, I just completed an Org Swap for another Non Profit and they had no similar requirement.
Looking for other consultants, Partners, or SFDC folks to weigh in here. Thanks

Hello Sean,
From what I understand, this doesn’t sound like a universally published Salesforce policy where a customer must buy 10 additional UE licenses for an Org Swap. Historically, Org Swaps have generally been handled based on the customer’s existing licensing and commercial agreement, with the replacement org being provisioned to match the appropriate licenses. So if another nonprofit completed an Org Swap in June without this requirement, I’d definitely ask the AE/VP to point to the specific current policy or documentation that requires the additional 10 licenses. It could be a specific provisioning or commercial constraint for this particular account rather than a blanket Salesforce policy, but I’d be interested to hear if others have seen this recently. Hope this helps!
