How to add Office 365 Education Plus for faculty Licences in Office 365

[CommodoreS]

In the licences I have currently got available:

Office 365 Education for faculty

Exchange Online (Plan 1) for students

Office 365 Education Plus for students

 

How do I add Office 365 Education Plus for faculty licences?

 

I have looked in Billing and Purchase Services but they are not listed there.

Just spoke to someone at another school.

 

They say they have Office 365 Education Plus for faculty licences but do not have Office 365 Education Plus for students licences and also can not find any way of adding these.

 

Should they be added automatically or do you have to contact Microsoft?

We had to place a £0 order with our MS licensing reseller to get the ProPlus ones to appear on 365, one year they messed up and we ended up with double the number of students and none of the faculty ones so we just allocated student licences to all the staff and it didn't seem to affect anything.

So there is no difference between Faculty and Student licences then?

 

I would have though Faculty users would have some admin control over Student users for some aspects of the system.

 

Its just nice to be accurate. The Plus licence also looks different to other licences in the subscriptions section so I am guessing MS added these automatically but messed up a bit when adding them.
