Microsoft Teams Licensing Changes: What You Need to Know
Microsoft has announced significant changes to its Teams licensing structure, set to take effect from April 1, 2024.
These changes will impact businesses worldwide, particularly those outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland.
Key Points:
Microsoft 365 and Office 365 Enterprise suites will no longer include Teams for new subscribers.
A new standalone Teams Enterprise license will be introduced. Existing customers can continue with their current plans, including renewals and adding seats.
Small and Medium Business (SMB) and Frontline Worker suites will still have options that include Teams.
What This Means for Your Business:
New customers will need to purchase Teams separately from their Microsoft 365 or Office 365 subscriptions.
