Logically, you\u2019d think that the migration path should be from the old Standard license to the new Basic license, and from the old Premium license to the new Pro license. However, in reality it wasn\u2019t quite that straightforward since the services were redistributed between the licenses. The Basic license includes fewer services (no Teams Phone, for example) than the Standard license did, and thus customers were likely to migrate to the Pro license for all of their Microsoft Teams Rooms. Now, Microsoft Teams Rooms Standard and Premium licenses are referred to as <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoftteams\/rooms\/rooms-legacy-licensing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">legacy licenses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Non-EA customers could <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoftteams\/rooms\/rooms-licensing#switching-from-teams-rooms-standard-and-teams-rooms-premium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">continue to use<\/a> the legacy licenses until the end of the subscription term, while EA customers could continue to both use the licenses and add more licenses until their next EA renewal. Note that the legacy licenses didn\u2019t automatically transition to either of the new license types upon expiration, and the customer had to make the decision as to which of the Microsoft Teams Rooms Basic or Pro licenses to acquire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Switching to device licenses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>2023<\/strong> Microsoft started to <a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/microsoft-teams-support\/staying-compliant-get-ready-for-microsoft-teams-rooms-licensing\/ba-p\/3776926\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prevent<\/a> customers from signing into Microsoft Teams Rooms systems or Teams Panels with User Subscription Licenses such as Microsoft 365 E3.
