MicrosoftWithin the Microsoft 365 admin center you can assign licenses to users or groups of users. That is also how you can un-assign licenses when a user changes position or leaves the company or organization that owns the license. Deleting a user would also free the license. The Microsoft 365 admin center is a good way to track licenses. I don’t know of a feature being licensed separate from the product or service. Does any feature come to mind that made you ask the question about licensing features?
I'm specifically talking about features which are enabled once a licence is given
Let me give an example: Azure AD Password Writeback is a feature currently ONLY available with Azure AD P1, you may have a tenant with 50 Business Premium licenced users and 50 Business Basic users - However those 50 Business Basic users are not licenced to be able to reset their passwords in the cloud and have it written back to on-premise - However once you enable the feature it's enabled for the ENTIRE tenant, hence you cannot control said feature
I'm specifically asking what is your stance on this. As a Microsoft Partner (CSP and SPLA members) what is your stance on this?, are we mandated by licencing to limit such use, or is it okay, just discouraged based on other factors than legality?
