Event details
Is BCE generally free of charge for E3/E5 users or will it be changed to 5$ too in the future? The wording on the blog in this repect can be interpreted in different ways.
This is the blog post from Microsoft I'm referring to: "Bing Chat Enterprise is rolling out in preview today and is included at no additional cost in Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard and Business Premium. And in the future, it will be available as a stand-alone offering for $5 per user, per month."

MicrosoftBing Chat Enterprise will be available at no additional cost for users with E3, E5, Business Standard, or Business Premium licenses. This will still be the case even after the product is out of preview - it's not intended to be a temporary measure. The purpose of the $5/u/m stand-alone license is for customers not licensed for Microsoft 365 who want to be able to purchase a license.
- One very important distinction we've discovered at my org is that you need to have the "Microsoft 365" licenses and NOT the "Office 365" licenses in your tenant. Unless you're reading the fine print really closely, this can be an easy oversight.
- JaredAndersenThat's a good catch, Aaron. We don't support eligibility with the "Office 365" licenses - it's the Microsoft 365 licenses only.
