There are updated (May 2026) Modern Work Plan Comparison documents for SMB, Enterprise, US Government, and Education customers.

It’s no surprise that most of the changes are to do with Microsoft 365 E7 and Agent 365 after their May 1, 2026 launch. In the Enterprise documents there are new sections added for Agent Observability, Agent Governance, and Agent Security making it easy to see which features are included in a Microsoft cloud subscription and which need Agent 365/Microsoft 365 E7 licenses. The SMB document has similar, but cut-down, sections added.

Don’t forget that we help you navigate the (seemingly increasing) errors in these documents every month with our Cautionary Notes. You’ll find these using the one-click “Microsoft 365” filter in our subscriber-exclusive Licensing Guides Gallery, along with quick access to the documents and full change details: https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery.

Non-subscribers can find the documents here: https://bit.ly/4hn2hS2. If you’re a partner and prefer the Excel version, contact us from your work email address and we’ll send it right over: info@licensingschool.co.uk.
