Microsoft 365 Business Premium grant is being discontinued
- Aug 13, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We encourage you to listen to the Office Hours session that was just released if you were unable to attend. Also, please reach out via the Partner Desk with questions and support options.
So my organization uses business premuim mainly for Intune, AAD and Defender, we work with children so this is how we lockdown and monitor our fleet of computers. As well as adminis have office licenses. E3 and Standard do not offer Intune or Defender. What are my options?? Are they just getting rid of the 10 free license part and keeping the 5.50/month sku? We dont have a large tech budget and really dont want to have to practically dissolve our organization as a result of not having device management
Help appreciated!!!
Hi Tatsuro_​
They are only discontinuing the 10 free licenses. The discounted US$5.50/user/month sku will remain as will all other discounts.
Before the expiry date of your grant subscription, you will need to swap users over to another licence type (that can be the discounted Business Premium license).
Thanks
Matt
