FN-GM Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Hello, Has anyone had this new Licence appear in office 365? Seems I have been allocated 1 Million licences!
Steve21 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Haha yep Wonder if they got fedup with schools constantly asking? Office 365 Education for Students 1,000,000 0 5 Steve
Steve21 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Seems to be E1 + ProPlus in single license. Office 365 Education for Students Yammer for Academic (These licenses do not need to be individually assigned) Office Online for Education SharePoint Plan 1 for EDU Exchange Online (Plan 1) Office 365 ProPlus Lync Online (Plan 2) Steve
FN-GM Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 I might request for an extension, not sure they have provided enough to cover my needs Is this a glitch or are these ours to use?
Steve21 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Just having a look through forums: Mark 28 Oct 2014 6:05 PM We use ADFS and DirSync and have our own licensing process in place to assign licenses including student advantage. I also followed the instructions to prevent users from auto provisioning (even though we should not have had to since we use ADFS). Apparently we have had 2 staff members which have valid email addresses go through the process and get auto licenses assigned even though they should not yet be eligible as it is currently open to students. Since we have our own licensing process in place how can we completely disable the self-enrollment for our organization so that users cannot go through the process and get an Office license auto assigned to them? We also noticed as a result of this change that we have a new license named "Office 365 Education for Students" which has 1,000,000 seats. The interesting side effect of that new license is that we now have 500TB of SharePoint quota for our tenant which is much more than we had previously. Do you know if all of this extra quota granted by those licenses is intended and if we can plan on keeping it going forward? Seems it's been going on a long time if a glitch :s I wonder if it's linked to that self enrolment the guy above mentioned? Steve
Steve21 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Custom view setup showing users of those 5 licenses that are used on our account: We haven't assigned any students those licenses ever, so certainly seems to be linked to that auto provision I'd guess. Only bits it's assigned for active use is Office online/SharePoint etc Steve
Arthur Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 It's not a glitch... www.bfcnetworks.com/blogs/alexpearce/understanding-more-of-the-free-office-365-benefits-to-students/ First User to Request License and Domain is Registered in Office 365 (UK and other EU countries, not sure about about worldwide) In this scenario, you would have created your Office 365 tenant and registered your domain in there. By default, when a user requests eligibility it will do a check to see if the domain is verified in Office 365 and then ask the user to log in. If they haven’t got a username they will not be able to get Office 365 Pro Plus. If they log in and the domain passes its eligibility tests, they will be given just the Office 365 Pro Plus part of the Office 365 Education for Student license and keep whatever they currently have. What happens is that Office 365 Education for Students and Office 365 Education for Faculty licenses are added to your tenant. It adds 1 million student licenses and 500,000 faculty which you can then use to assign to all your users. 1
Steve21 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Problem being it starts giving them access to bits you might not have configured yet Like sharepoint... Anyone know off hand where the disable option is for them self signing up currently? Steve
Arthur Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Anyone know off hand where the disable option is for them self signing up currently? I think this is what you need (from the link above)... Set-MsolCompanySettings -AllowAdHocSubscriptions $false 1
FN-GM Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Thanks Arthur, I don't see the faculty licences though? They where not present yesterday and appeared this morning. Yesterday i requested more Faculty licences and migrated 1,250 students to Office 365 and licenced these. I wonder if that triggered it? Thanks Edited March 8, 2015 by FN-GM

FN-GM Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Thats for Exchange Online not the Office 365 Management. Open a new powershell window on the machine you use your script. Type Connect-MsolService. Enter your credentials and run the command again. It should work then.

ass17 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) We got last week 1,000,000 students licenses and 500,000 faculty licenses just by someone using there school email address to attempt to signup. If any one wants to add these licenses to the office 365 organisation/domain then I can post the links for student activation and teacher/faculty activation. Use any organisational email to do this. You only need to attempt this once for student and once for faculty. Edited March 8, 2015 by ass17

FN-GM Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks, does anyone know how to get a school on the list? One of our schools in the trust isn't entered. Thanks
ass17 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Students http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=506946 Teachers/Staff http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=512196 the point of this is so staff and students self enroll so admins dont have to.
Marshall_IT Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 the point of this is so staff and students self enroll so admins dont have to. Don't you have to have at least signed up for a O365 tenant and added a domain to get this? The benefit I thought was that you didn't need to import / create / sync users.
FN-GM Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 the point of this is so staff and students self enroll so admins dont have to. We do it automatically for staff and student. Each one will have either office licence assigned automatically.
ass17 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Don't you have to have at least signed up for a O365 tenant and added a domain to get this? The benefit I thought was that you didn't need to import / create / sync users. We signed up last year, for free, getting a domain and standard E1 licenses for free. You still have to run the dirsync utility to sync your Active Directory users up
