M365 E3 to E5 Mid-Term Upgrade: Remove duplicated licenses after an upgrade

Hi all,

 

I have a client that would like to upgrade from Microsoft 365 E3 to Microsoft 365 E5.  They also have the following additional subscriptions for E3 users that will become redundant after the upgrade:

 

  • Power BI Pro
  • Microsoft Defender for Endpoint P2
  • Microsoft Entra ID P2

The upgrade documentation isn't clear and doesn't provide examples as to which subscriptions qualify for cancellation after the upgrade.  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/partner-center/create-a-new-subscription?tabs=workspaces-view#remove-duplicated-licenses-after-an-upgrade

 

Will the three subscriptions listed above qualify for cancellation mid-term with the upgrade from E3 to E5?

 

Regards

Chris
