Licensing question: Exchange Server SE for CSP M365 E3/E5 customers without Extended Use Rights
Does anyone have any information on licensing the new Exchange Server SE for customers who have M365/O365 E3/E5 purchased via CSP but do not have Extended Use Rights (i.e., no EA/EAS -> no on-prem Office server licenses included)? Specifically: Is it enough to license Exchange Server SE per node only, or Do customers also need to purchase Exchange Server CALs per user (even if they already have M365 E3/E5)? I’ve spoken with multiple licensing distributors and a Microsoft partner contact, but I still haven’t been able to get a definitive answer. According to a comment from Jeremy Carlson and Microsoft’s licensing documentation, certain licenses appear to include "CAL-equivalency rights". Can anyone here confirm whether these CAL-equivalency rights cover access to Exchange Server SE in the CSP E3/E5 (no Extended Use Rights) scenario? licensing reference: https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms/product/CALandMLEquivalencyLicenses/MCA#clause-2165-h3-1Let us sign into our Personal Microsoft account when Installing/Resetting Windows 10 Enterprise
When we fresh Install or Reset our Windows 10 Enterprise edition, we only have the option to sign into our business Microsoft account (aka Microsoft 365). no option to sign into our Personal account. so the only way is to make a local account and then when we come to the desktop, sign into our Personal Microsoft account. this needs to change so we can use either business or personal account during OOBE when installing or resetting Windows 10 Enterprise edition.

There needs to be a way to view available digital licenses inside our Microsoft account, I think in Windows settings => update and security => Activation would be the most suitable place. it has benefits, the most important one is so user can see their available licenses in their Microsoft account and make a wise decision based on that info. please upvote this feedback in feedback hub: https://aka.ms/AAbdhft
