Microsoft 365 Now Can Buy Mix Plan Over 300 Lic ?
Hi
I've heard the news that I can't Mix Plan Business that exceeds 300 is it true or not? Currently, I have a customer who buys a Mix Plan Business that exceeds 300, can I still back it up or not...

I think that it really needs official statement from Microsoft & update in Product Terms -

Based on FAQ & infromation provided by MS Sales to customers, they shall not have more than 300 combined seats of Microsoft 365 Basic/Standard/Premium.
This also You can find in FAQ: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/licensing/product-licensing/microsoft-365-business
But binding legal document, which are Product Terms shows different statement:
There is nowhere mentioned combined amount of seats. So reading- it leads to interpretation than limit of 300 seats applies per plan (Basic/Standard/Premium)……
More to underline- Product Terms clearly stating, that FAQ is not part of it. So FAQ is not binging document to customer.
Do You have may be some official supporting document, which clearly identify those limits & which shows clear interpretation?
Customer is bound by Product Terms & he is not obliged to follow FAQ it those are different ☹
Everybody understand idea & how it shall be implemented, but in fact seems to be that supporting legal documents are not clear …
I saw already few tenants with 300 Business Plans enabled & we are pretty sure that any action against those customers will result in loosing any case in court by Microsoft- thanks to own MS documents :(.
So this shall be clarified- until it is not intentionally to do it not clear 😉

For SMB, Microsoft 365 Business base per user plans. The M365plans are designed for organizations with up to 300 users. Organizations with more than 300 users should consider subscribing to Microsoft 365 Enterprise plans. What is Microsoft 365 for Business? - FAQs | Microsoft 365
- Per the snapshots from Product Terms & ClaudioStallone post/links, the answer to your question is that customers may not provision more than 300 user subscription licenses.
- The following MS Learn Doc confirms that the maximum is 300 - Pricing and offers - Partner Center | Microsoft Learn
- The NCE Handbook also confirms the maximum number of licenses is 300 - find the NCE Handbook in Partner Center (login req'd). I've attached the handbook for your convenience.
- The Offer Matrix also indicates that the maximum number of licenses is 300 (on the MaxLicenses) column. The Offer Matrix can also be found in Partner Center.
