    Hi Eric_Coffman 

     

    I do not believe the customer's Microsoft 365 Admin center identifies whether a subscription is legacy or NCE. This is only determined by the provisioning mechanism the partner used.

     

    When the license subscription appears in the admin center only the resultant product details are visible and a SKUPartNumber is used by Microsoft. For example, Azure AD P1 whether legacy or NCE is the same product as far as Microsoft and the customer's tenant is concerned, it is just billed differently.

     

    Here is an extract from an API call that gets the subscribed SKU's for a customer tenant. This is an NCE subscription because we provided it, but from this you would not know if legacy or NCE.

     

    "items": [
    {
    "availableUnits": 0,
    "activeUnits": 0,
    "consumedUnits": 0,
    "suspendedUnits": 1,
    "totalUnits": 0,
    "warningUnits": 0,
    "productSku": {
    "id": "078d2b04-f1bd-4111-bbd4-b4b1b354cef4",
    "name": "Azure Active Directory Premium P1",
    "skuPartNumber": "AAD_PREMIUM",

     

    As far as I know, the only way to know is to ask the partner who provided the subscriptions. Hopefully they are honest or can provide a screenshot from Partner Centre.
