Modern Work Plan Comparison documents

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.

Microsoft Agent Factory

With the announcement of Microsoft 365 E7 there’s renewed focus on the Microsoft Agent Factory – a program designed for customers that want to rapidly scale AI adoption in their organisation. It combines the Agent Pre-Purchase Plan, Forward Deployed Engineers, and tailored role-based AI training.

Partners can find resources here: https://bit.ly/4ljI6GK, and the comprehensive FAQ is definitely worth taking a look at.

Microsoft 365 E7

After much speculation, Microsoft 365 E7, also known as The Frontier Worker Suite, is official, with a GA date of 1 May 2026. It builds on Microsoft 365 E5 by adding Microsoft 365 Copilot, Agent 365, and the Entra Suite. With a standard monthly price of $99, three promotions are planned in May to coincide with the launch, offering discounts of between 10% and 20%. In line with the other Microsoft 365 licences, E7 will be available both with and without Teams.

Complementing the announcement, we’re provided with a raft of resources. The Microsoft 365 E7 Launch Kit is particularly useful, containing a Partner FAQ that’s well worth a read.
