Remove license for users
Dears,
If we remove license for a user, will he have access to the services Exhange, ondrive... for 30 days? or only the data will stay but the users cannot access Outlook, Owa, Ondrive...
Best Regards,

Best, Chris- Robert SaadCopper ContributorHi Chris,
I have already read both articles but they are mentioning if the user will still have access to their mailboxes and other services.
It’s only mentioning that the data will be held for 30 days. does it mean that they will still have access?
Best Regards,They will, at least to most services, as Microsoft does not enforce licensing requirements for many of them. If the idea is to keep them from accessing stuff, block the account as Oleg_Kovalenko suggested above.
