Do I need to pay for Copilot licenses?

[BenjiPD]

We have Business Premium licenses, and it shows on the Admin Center that we have the Copilot license assigned to all users, but when we try to use Copilot on Teams, it returns the message "It looks like you don’t have a valid license. To get access, please check with your administrator." 

According to the article: Bringing the full power of Copilot to more people and businesses - The Official Microsoft Blog "Copilot for Microsoft 365 is now generally available for small businesses with Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Business Standard Customers can purchase between one and 299 seats for $30 per person per month." I'm assuming it means that since we already have the premium license, we should be automatically enrolled, but from the looks of it, it seems like we'd need to purchase additional licenses. Can someone confirm this for me, please? Thanks.

Let me say: You're eligible to buy the add-on license. CoPilot isn't included in Business Premium, nor Enterprise Licensing.

@PatrickF11 Thanks for the reply. All I can say is this has the same effect as a certain celebrity putting hot sauce in fried rice.
