Licenses
Dean_Gross, are you referring to licenses as in offerings or the toggles available in the Admin Center?
From an offering perspective, I reference this site:
https://products.office.com/en-us/business/compare-more-office-365-for-business-plans
I suspect you're interested in the licenses as they appear in the Admin Center, which is a bit more around provisioning on a per user basis. Within Microsoft, we also frequently confuse license with SKU, and there are a tremendous number of SKUs for things like adding Adv Threat Protection to E3.
Would it be correct to rephrase the question this way: "Is there a list of all the Office 365 services as defined by license toggles in the Admin Center?"
I am refering to the toggles. I fully understand that SKU's are different than Licenses, which is why I am asking this question. SKUs are for accounting/billing purposes, Licenses are where the real authorization to use a service is provided.
your rephrasing of my question is correct.

Thanks, Dean! I'm not aware of any documentation on those toggles. I am working on some release and change management topics that are related, so I'll make sure to raise it as an opportunity in that context.
What is your ideal documentation? I'm envisioning a page that lists each of the toggles, what it does, the implications of disabling a service, and best practices for managing the licenses via powershell.
Do you have any specific questions we could answer here?

I think what you describe would be very helpful.
Some questions that I currently have are:
1. What happens if user with a Flow license creates a Flow that involves a user without the same license?
2. what happens if a user with a POwerApps license shares an app with someone without the same license?
3. Will users without Flow and PowerApps licenses still see the links in SharePoint lists?
4. Which licenses are included in the First Release program?

Chris McNulty, do you happen to know the answers or a contact for the questions about Flow and PowerApps licenses?
