WOPI for customers
We plan to integrate WOPI in our application which is broadly used by customers. No I suppose that we have to use own Microsoft licenses to enable view and edit functionality or is there a way to use existing licenses of our customers for that? I could not find any information regarding this.
Microsoft Enforces New License Rules for Teams Room Devices
On March 24, Microsoft announced new rules for licensing Teams Rooms Devices. Instead of being able to assign a user subscription license (like Office 365 E3), tenants must assign a Teams Rooms Pro or Teams Rooms Standard license to the room mailboxes used by devices. If they don’t, the devices won’t be able to connect after July 1, 2023. Microsoft suggests a script to find licensed room mailboxes. It’s OK, but we can make the script run much faster, which might just be important in the types of tenants that use Teams Rooms devices. https://office365itpros.com/2023/03/29/teams-rooms-devices-licenses/
Office 365 Group Licensing reprocess time?
I can't find any documentation on how often the reprocess occurs of a group used for Office 365 licensing. When I add a user to a group on prem, force Azure AD Connect sync, I see the user is in the group in Azure AD however I notice they are not assigned the license right away. Does anyone know how often that occurs? If I'm looking to do it quickly I need to hit reprocess. Thank you. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/licensing-groups-assignOnline Services available even if there are no Licenses issued
I want to have a couple of users which are not able to use any of the Office 365 online services (like Planner, SharePoint, OneDrive). Therefore I created a security group with the members and a standard Office 365 E3 license and only Microsoft Teams as an application. But the user is still able to access all online services.Exchange Online Adds Support for License Stacking
Microsoft announced support for concurrent Exchange Online license assignments, aka license stacking. This means that the workload can sort out the capabilities made available to a user through multiple licenses and make the maximum functionality available to the user through whatever’s deemed to be the “most superior” license. If that sounds like so much mumbo-jumbo, it might just be, unless you’ve been plagued by people losing access to their mailboxes because of shifting license assignments in the past. If you have, this change will make you very happy. https://office365itpros.com/2023/01/25/exchange-online-license-stacking/
