I wanted to reach out and remind you your grace period ends September 30, 2023. To prevent any disruption in your Microsoft Teams Rooms service and devices, including Microsoft Surface Hubs you must acquire and assign a valid Teams Rooms license to all accounts used on Microsoft Teams Rooms immediately.
https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/rooms/rooms-licensing include:
- Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro
- Microsoft Teams Rooms Basic
- Microsoft Teams Rooms Premium
- Microsoft Teams Rooms Standard
For Teams Panels, customers need to acquire and assign a Teams Rooms Pro license if used with a Teams Rooms system or Surface Hub, or a https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-add-on-licensing/teams-shared-device-license if used without a Teams Rooms system or Surface Hub. This policy also affects devices registered in the Pro Management portal. Only a Teams Rooms Pro or Teams Rooms legacy Premium license will enable you to benefit from the AI-powered cross-platform device management capabilities and the Admin portal.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2022/09/06/meet-microsoft-teams-rooms-pro/, we launched the Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro and Basic licenses. This was a significant shift away from using M365/O365 (A, E, G) non-compliant user subscription licenses.
With a Teams Rooms Pro license, you gain access to the Pro Management portal, providing advanced IT capabilities such as room health monitoring, alerts, incident ticket generation, and remote configuration and management.
