    Group-based licensing will be a feature of all the paid Azure AD editions. (And it is included now during the public preview period)

    That means Azure AD Basic, Azure AD Premium P1 and P2 and of course EMS E3 and E5 that includes Azure AD Premium.

    Also will be a feature of Office 365 E3 and Office 365 E5 when it becomes generally avaialble.

     

    Now, for EDU organizations things are rather simple becasue Azure AD Basic is free for them so by adding the free Azure AD Basic edition to their tenant they can use Group-Based Licensing for all the related products.

     

    I hope this helps

Hello, 

as I understand it is still in public preview. So my question, do you have a timeline when group-based license management will be GA? And how quick will it be available (GA) in the German Cloud?

    We have just changed our licensing to Office 365 E3 to Office 365 E5. 

    And Kiosk to F1 licensing is there any reason not to use group based licensing?

    This would help flip all my users properly and also remove the services that we didn't want to go live quite yet.
