Licensing: Open Business vs CSP

Hi Everyone,

 

Not sure if this is the right spot for this or not but I figure I will give it a shot.  Does anyone here have any experience with converting an Open Business tenant to a CSP tenant?  I am curious as to the process and what is involved.

 

Thanks

Steve

  • It's not so much conversion of a tenant that you need to do, more so replace the Open licenses with those acquired via CSP.
    You can have both in the one tenant, so the process would be:
    1. Purchase new licenses via CSP for the same license level (eg. E3)
    2. Don't renew the Open licenses

    You shouldn't need to re-assign licenses to users if they are the same type.

      I guess you change to csp at the end of a openlicense else they will loose there months and start paying?
