Who's Performing Microsoft 365 License Audits For Their Clients?

If you’re an MSP or IT leader and aren't running these regularly, you might be leaving money on the table or letting your clients overpay by over 20% on average.

Common quick wins we see all the time:

  • Disabled user accounts that still hold active paid licenses.
  • Inactive or dormant users that could easily be converted to free shared mailboxes.
  • Over-licensed users who only need OWA/web access instead of full desktop suites.
  • Paying for unassigned licenses sitting idle in the tenant.

Doing a full, manual audit can feel tedious, but following a structured process makes it painless.

If you want to run a complete audit via the Admin Center, PowerShell, or free automated tools, check out this comprehensive guide:
