O365 Device Licensing

[philellis]

Hi,

We are currently implementing the roll out of the office 365 client to on site devices.

All devices on site are azure hybrid joined however users are not licensed when running the apps.

We currently are licensing using Microsoft 365 Apps for Students, am i right in thinking we need Microsoft 365 apps for education (device) license applied instead?

If anyone is currently running office 365 apps on site could let me know which license you're using and if its included in the OVS-ES agreement that would be a great help! Thanks in advance

Hi

 

If you mean Power apps such as the full versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel you will need A1 + licences as a minimum, these are included in our agreement, but had to apply for them, you will find treads on here about that process.

just got 50 device based licences for O365 software. Plan was to remove current O365 installation with user based licence and install device based licensing version (only a small change in config.xml). Difficult part is selecting computers in Azure AD to be members of AD security group to which these new licences will apply. One would think this would be straightforward thing to do. Far from it, because if you search Azure AD for domain joined devices, single computer will appear in multiple instances as different guids thanks to using Azure AD Connect whereby each computer gets registered in multiple quantities, each one via different user activating O365 previously. Nightmare you just cannot resolve. Rolled back to Office 2019 which can be used for exams/tests without Internet connectivity (restricted logins). I have no idea how Microsoft expects users to assign device based licences if they are not able to select single device accounts from Azure AD. Edited September 28, 2021 by evasion
