Business Center License

Does anyone know what the Microsoft Business Center License is for in Office 365?

    Hello Dean, 

     

    I hope you are fine!

    I'm new to this community and I was looking for information about the Microsoft Business Center licenses, so I found this conversation, I wanted to ask you if you were you able to find out what they are?

      It is the "new" volume licensing.  Or what Microsoft calls the "Microsoft Next Generation Volume Licensing"

    I don't see it list in my licenses, but I do have Business Center in my tenat.  It shows in the waffle as well as in the admin center and I can open it up and see what's included in the Business Center.

     

    I also have an E5 for some of my users, but also have a few business premium licenses within the same tenant.  Based on features included in the Business Center, it looks like it's something from the Business Premium plan that is now showing up for all users.  There wasn't anything I actually did to enable it, I think it just randomly showed up about a week ago?

     

    I haven't had a ton of time to dig into it yet and figure out what all is there, or where it comes from, but you're not the only one seeing the service.

      In the O365 Admin Center, User Page, when I select a user to assign a license. It shows 10000 licenses are available in my customers tenant.
