What is the cost of Agent 365 is not going to E7?
- Sophie_Ke
Microsoft
General availability of Agent 365 will be on May 1 for $15 per user per month.
- CasandraMarrero
Agent 365 as a standalone offering will be $15pupm
- Luis_Romero
If the license is per user, does that mean one user can operate multiple agents with a single license?
- CasandraMarrero
That is correct.
How is that different from M365 Copilot license?
Shouldn't Microsoft Agents by default be Secure etc. Not as an extra license or feature?
Is there a sandbox for Agent 365?
- Dick_Lake
Microsoft provide commitments and controls that are secure by default and also tools for our customers to manage agents based on their own rules/regulations/requirement
antoinelisseis it required to have an M365 E5 License to use Agent 365?
- alexpozin
No, it's not required, but some capabilities of Agent 365 work better when you have an E5 license. For example, without E5 includes enhances your ability to label data. And agent security policies in A365 can leverage data labels for enhanced protection.
Will we be able to also determine the amount of tokens used by each agent so we can calculate a total cost of agent executions?
- Please clarify, about Agent 365 licenses, there are lot of confusions in this space (e.g who needs license, what will be covered - 1st party, studio agents, dependency with security suite - E5, Defender cloud apps etc)
- Please help us to understand, how to setup Agent 365 in the organization start to end (e.g. different admin configurations in Purview, Entra, Defender, etc), also, would be cool, to have this documented in learn.microsoft link
- Is looks like Agent 365, another product with a new license build on existing product & configurations which exist already? (e.g. DSPM, Defender, Entra CAS, etc), if so, why another license model?
- What happens after 1st of May, for the orgs that did not purchase Agent 365, what will be affected? (like Agent Inventory in MAC, Template, DSPM AI, etc) will disappear?
- CasandraMarrero
You can find additional details on getting started with Agent 365 here Agent Overview Page in Microsoft 365 Admin Center - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn
Agent 365 provides IT and security with a control for agents used by users across their organization.
Agent 365 licenses are required only for users of agents that employ premium features of Agent 365. This covers all agents that work on behalf of the user (and leverage the user's identity).
The admin doesn't need a license unless they are also using agents as described above. Users who create agents also don't need an Agent 365 license, unless they are using agents as described above.
To make it easier to manage and plan, we recommend licensing groups of users who are actively using agents.Please be specific about what the Premium features are?
What is the experience if Agent 365 licences aren't in place - what can't we do?
The current 25 trial licenses for Agent 365 (Frontier) are per agent. Now, with the GA announcement the Agent 365 license was communicated as per user. Will there be a model where you can or need to purchase licenses per agent? Or is the initial trial licensing model where licenses are assigned to agent instances now deprecated and a new per-user A365 SKU will be made available instead? Will there be a new trial for that?
- CasandraMarrero
Frontier is an early access program that allows us to get innovations in front of our customers before we are ready to ship them. The licensing model for Agent 365 at GA will be per user and can be purchased as part of Microsoft 365 E7 or as a standalone Agent 365 license.

I am frequently asked by both internal teams and external clients about the differences between Agent 365 and Foundry Agent Service, especially since both include an observability component. I also receive questions regarding the pricing model for managing 1,000+ external agents.
- alexpozin
Foundry is more focused on developers while Agent 365 is designed for IT and Security.
- Dick_Lake
Foundry is one of many places where someone can create an agent. A365 serves as a control plane where you can see agents created from a variety of different agent creation platforms

Hi everyone
In the “Observe” section of Agents 365, I believe an important feature is missing — or I may simply not have seen it in your demo.
I work on the business side (Internal Audit), where I oversee the creation and deployment of agents through Studio Lite and Copilot Studio.
To manage my scope effectively, I need clear visibility into how the agents in my perimeter are used and the impact they generate.Ideally, I would need the ability to define a perimeter — for example:
- a specific set of agents, or
- a group of users for whom I am responsible.
Once this perimeter is defined, Agents 365 should allow me to access:
- the agents within my scope, and
- the agents created by the users in that scope.
If this capability already exists, it may simply not be clearly visible or easily accessible.
