Subscription License Suites Licensing Guidance

Microsoft have updated their Subscription License Suites Licensing Guidance website.

The October update features the two big launches of the month: Microsoft 365 A7 for Education and Microsoft 365 G7 for US Government.

While it’s a useful reference to compare Microsoft 365 licences, this update to the website introduces some new errors to watch out for – all outlined in our Licensing Guides Gallery, exclusively for subscribers: https://bit.ly/47GWcMc. There, you’ll also find a link to the Subscription License Suites Licensing Guidance website and a history of PDF captures, providing a record of the documents and changes between versions. If you’re not yet a subscriber, you can find the latest version here: https://bit.ly/4hxDBXG.
