Late in August 2023, Microsoft announced that there would be changes to the offerings available in the European Economic Area and Switzerland to address European competition concerns – you can read that article here: https:\/\/bit.ly\/3Pfx0Ty<\/a>. These offerings are now live in the October 2023 Product Terms, so here’s the summary…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A customer in these regions who has not purchased Office 365 E1\/E3\/E5 or Microsoft 365 E3\/E5 before 1 October, 2023 must now buy “EEA (no Teams)” SKUs – which, as the names suggest, don’t include Teams. If the customer does want Teams, then they need to purchase a separate Teams EEA User SL for their users. If they have purchased any of these licences before 1 October then they can add more licences and renew existing Subscriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Microsoft 365 Business Basic\/Standard\/Premium, customers in the affected regions will be able to choose the original offerings or new EEA flavours without Teams. The same goes for Microsoft 365 F1\/F3 and Office 365 F3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
