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.

Subscription License Suites document

There’s an updated (April 2025) Subscription License Suites document from Microsoft. This useful document shows you which individual licences make up suites like Office 365 E3. There are a couple of changes: the addition of Microsoft 365 Business Premium as an eligible prerequisite for Microsoft 365 E5 Security, and a note about mixed licensing scenarios for Microsoft Defender for Business and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2.
