O365 license requirements for litigation hold and retention policy
I think this is about the leavers/importing archived content scenario, where you onboard content to O365 just to put it on hold and provision it as Inactive mailbox. Microsoft recently toyed with the idea to start charging for those: https://www.petri.com/no-licenses-office-365-inactive-mailboxes
That's right VasilMichev, the conversation was around importing mailboxes of users who have left the organisation. I understand that Microsoft haven't moved forward with requiring a license for inactive mailboxes, but is there any requirement to have a mailbox licensed for a minimum amount of time before the mailbox can be configured as inactive?
Nothing official, but that's not the first time I've heard about this. Hopefully we're not in for another surprise...
