In October 2023, Microsoft made changes to Office 365 and Microsoft 365 licences for customers in the EEA and Switzerland. Essentially, these changes removed Teams from certain suites for customers who had never purchased Office\/Microsoft 365 before. You can get up to speed on that on our blog here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, from 1April, 2024 those changes are extended to the rest of the world, described by Microsoft in an article here<\/a>. In essence, the news is the same as for the EEA and Switzerland, so here\u2019s the summary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A customer outside the EEA and Switzerland who has not purchased Office 365 E1\/E3\/E5 or Microsoft 365 E3\/E5 before 1 April, 2024 must now buy \u201c(no Teams)” SKUs – which, as the names suggest, don’t include Teams. If the customer does want Teams, then they need to additionally purchase a separate Teams Enterprise User SL for their users. If they HAVE purchased any of the original licences before 1 April then they can add more licences and renew existing Subscriptions. Alternatively they can buy the new licences, and even mix and match them with the new licences if they want to.<\/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 that include Teams or the new (no Teams) flavours. The same goes for Microsoft 365 F1\/F3 and Office 365 F3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
