Microsoft Expands Licensing Requirements for Copilot for Microsoft 365 to Include More Business Plans

March 14, 2024 Microsoft Partner News

In a recent announcement, Microsoft revealed plans to expand the licensing requirements for Copilot for Microsoft 365. This expansion will now include Microsoft 365 F1, Microsoft 365 F3, Office 365 E1, Microsoft 365 Business Basic, and more. This change is expected to take place in the coming weeks and will impact all Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partners transacting Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365.

Previously, the licensing requirements for Copilot for Microsoft 365 required customers to own a prerequisite license of Microsoft 365 E3/5, Office 365 E3/5, or Microsoft 365 Business Standard/Business Premium for each Copilot user. This expansion aims to make Copilot for Microsoft 365 accessible to a wider range of businesses, including those with frontline worker plans.

Microsoft's goal with this expansion is to empower every organization to become AI-powered. Customers that have Microsoft 365 F3 and F1, Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Office 365 E1, and more will be eligible to purchase Copilot for Microsoft 365 in the coming weeks.

This expansion also covers Copilot for Service and Copilot for Sales, both of which have been generally available for the CSP channel since March 1, 2024.

Additional details and a complete list of eligible SKUs will be available on the Partner Center Learn site. For more information about the prerequisites expansion, including timing updates, Microsoft has directed users to the Expansion of Microsoft 365 Copilot Eligibility blog.

For organizations looking to get started with Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft recommends visiting the Copilot for Work site.

At Qloud Blog, we are excited about this expansion and the potential it holds for businesses of all sizes. We encourage our readers to review the Expansion of Microsoft 365 Copilot Eligibility blog and Copilot for Work site to learn more about these changes and how they can benefit your organization.
