O365 ProPlus vs O365 for Education

[saintoctopus]

So, in the old days, we had to renew the subscriptions via the OVS provider etc etc. These subscriptions are called 'Office 365 ProPlus for Students'. Since then, we have had 'Office 365 Education for Students' added automatically and I have transferred all the student accounts to it.

 

Therefore, I am now allowing the original subscriptions to expire.

 

Is that right? Do I need to renew it - or anything?

Probably no help, but I repeatedly asked Phoenix software about this - our supplier and I was basically ignored and they just renewed the license without explaining why the ProPlus is included in both.

Hehe!

 

So literally nobody knows?!

 

It's not like Microsoft to be confusing about licenses...
