Azure Licence - Bringing it Back to In-House

Hi


Our company is using Azure P1 Licence and underneath there are Power Automate , Sharepoint, Exchange , Business Premium licence for users.

 

I am trying to find a way to bring it all back so Microsoft charges it directly instead of having it invoiced from our managed service provider.

 

I looked at O365 Admin Center and I can add a payment method.

If I were to add a company credit card in , Do i then linked all the user licences ( Automate,Sharepoint, Business Premium) in the credit card?

We also have Azure P1 Licence and I can't see it under the licence tab in o365 admin center so I don't know whether that can be linked to the company credit card?

 

I did a search online and all seems to be pointing at licences under O365 admin center but I don't see Azure P1 licence?

    To activate the Azure P1 license, follow these steps:

    1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center:
    2. Navigate to Active Users:
      • Click on “Users” and then select “Active Users.”
    3. Choose a User:
      • Select a user who has a Microsoft 365 Business (M365B) subscription.
    4. View Licenses and Apps:
      • Click on “Licenses and Apps.”
    5. Expand the Apps List:
      • Look for “Azure Active Directory Premium P1” in the list of apps.

    That’s it! You’ve successfully activated the Azure P1 license for the selected user. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask!

      Just wondering how this works because users here aren't assigned a Azure P1 licence.

      In Azure AD I can see we are running a P1 Azure licence.

       

      Is the licence assigned to another email address and that email address sole purpose is to hold the Azure P1 licence.

       

      Users underneath then get assigned e5, e3 etc licence?
