M365 E5 vs. Office 365 E5 Regarding Business Apps (Free) - Specifically Bookings
SO, super confused on this. We have M365 E5 License (primarily), Office365 Business Premium, and Office 365 Business Essentials licenses in our tenant. I am trying to get the Bookings app to be avai...
ChrisHoardMVP I am being told by my MSP that Microsoft is singing a different tune and that licensing and feature availability for M365 E5 (My local version of office says Pro Plus) is, in fact, different than O365 E5.
The MSP states that they did all of the steps noted in the linked article to enable Business Apps (Free) for our E5 users, but it still does not work.
Any thoughts?
I have raised this direct over Twitter. I'll get back to you once they confirm.
Let's see what they say. Personally I think it ought to work given that Office 365 E5 is a component of Microsoft 365. Microsoft 365 has more (Windows 10, EMS E5) but it has Office 365 in it.
Best, Chris
Thanks ChrisHoardMVP. This stuff is clear as mud these days....
Unfortunately it is not always 1 to 1 conversion. Say recently they added shared computer activation to Office apps in M365 Business plan (it has Office 365 Business). But Office 365 Business Premium not receiving that. Names can be similar, but feature set can differ.
So still no clear answer on this one. Can someone at Microsoft shed some light on this? Is Office 365 E5 a feature for feature match with the Office that is included in M365 E5?
