    Just want to add something that might help people. When I tried to add EXO P2 for a Business Standard user, I got the same error as philhorst1980. The EXO P1 plan was not ticked under licenses, but my MS partner guided me to scroll down all the way to the bottom there's a section called Apps, and if you expand that there is another entry for EXO P1 tied to Business Standard that is ticked. I unticked that and then it allowed me to apply the P2 licenses.

      A question I'm trying to figure out. What happens when you untick EOP1 on the Business Standard license to add EOP2. Is that 50GB lost or can it be reassigned?

       

      Regards

        Hi Cyberboer,

         

        If it was a standalone EXO P1 you could reassign it to another user but if it's part of the Business Standard subscription then it cannot be separated from that and it does seem that it's just lost in this case.

      Now if you have a user with a Business Standard license and a Exchange Online (Plan 2) for more storage, but want to remove Business Standard, and replace it with Business Premium... without removing Exchange Online (Plan 2) what is the best way to do this? I get a licensing conflict: "You can't assign licenses that contain these conflicting services: Exchange Online (Plan 2), Exchange Online (Plan 1). Review the services included with each license, and try again."
