Copilot appearance scheduling in E3 and E5?
For enterprise licenses such as E3 and E5 - The question is:
- where (matrix broken out by License type and Applications) and
- when (release schedule, i.e., roadmap)
will Copilot begin to appear?
- Agreed - Microsoft, please publicize this as most enterprise customers will be on the semi-annual channel, so we'll need to know which channel to put pilot users on and when to plan broader deployment for those who are semi-annual. Pricing for the M365 Copilot add-on license would also be appreciated.
- Answering part of your question:
"users will need to be on the Current Channel or on the Monthly Enterprise Channel for Microsoft 365 apps to have access to Copilot."
Also, users will need to have E3 or E5, and then have a Copilot license assigned to them via the 365 admin center.

Footnotes:
[1] For small and medium business (SMB) customers, Microsoft 365 Business Standard or Business Premium will be eligible base licenses.
- Microsoft 365 Copilot will be generally available for enterprise customers on Nov. 1, 2023, along with Microsoft 365 Chat, a new AI assistant that will completely transform the way you work.
