Microsoft 365 new license without Teams
Last year Microsoft updated the way Microsoft 365, Office 365, and Teams were licensed in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland. Now Microsoft announced their plan to extend that approach worldwide. Globally consistent licensing helps ensure clarity for customers and streamline decision making and negotiations.
Starting April 1, 2024, Microsoft offers new SKUs for Microsoft 365, Office 365, and Microsoft Teams globally, giving commercial customers the option to purchase Teams separately from Microsoft 365 and Office 365.
Existing customers who want to continue using their subscribed SKUs can do so (including renewals, new entitlements, and next steps). If an existing customer wants to switch to a new suite lineup without Teams, they can do so on the contract anniversary or at the time of renewal. It is not recommended because it is more expensive to buy separately!
Teams is a powerful collaboration tool, and whether you’re an existing customer or a new one, there are options to ensure you can continue using it effectively!
