    Hi Breakins, the inventory feature in the Apps admin center only supports Office/Microsoft 365 Business Standard and "higher", like premium or Enterprise E3+ plans. Both perpetual Office and Microsoft 365 Business Basic are not supported (as the later does not include a license for the local application). Check https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/admincenter/inventory#requirements-for-using-inventory.

    So in short, it is expected that those devices do not show up/onboard to inventory. So from my POV it is actually the other way around: The onboarded 134 ones shouldn't be on inventory, if the configuration is perpetual Office plus Business Basic plan. Do the users of the 134 devices have any other subscription plans assigned, e.g. Visio/Project?
