Not For Profit Licence suddenly disappeared and then deleted
Hi All Have a big issue. Have a not for profit account for our charity. Renewed licence earlier in the year and all was ok and working. Then a few days ago I had reports of not being able to access data. After much hunting I found the below. Seems account was suddenly and without warning disabled and then reported as deleted a few days later. What do I do? I desperately need to recover the files that were on the associated teams? Any help would be much appreciatedUnable to access our Microsoft Entra admin center
We cannot create a support request from the admin center because we cannot sign in Dear Microsoft Support Team, We are unable to access our Microsoft Entra admin center because even our administrator account, email address removed for privacy reasons, is being prompted for MFA, and we do not currently have access to the Microsoft Authenticator method required to complete the sign-in. As a result, we cannot access Entra ID / Microsoft 365 admin settings to reset MFA methods, issue a Temporary Access Pass, or re-register authentication methods for the affected users. Tenant/domain: itieurope.com Affected admin account: email address removed for privacy reasons Issue: MFA is required to sign in, but the Authenticator method is unavailable Impact: We are locked out of the tenant administration portal and cannot manage users or authentication methods We request assistance with one of the following recovery actions: Reset MFA methods for the administrator account email address removed for privacy reasons; or Enable re-registration of MFA for this account; or Provide a Temporary Access Pass or another Microsoft-approved recovery method so that we can regain administrative access to the tenant. We had force majeure, the only authenticator was on the phone, which was destroyed due to an unforeseen situation. (crashed) We are ready to verify domain ownership, provide billing information, tenant details, proof of identity, or any other information required to confirm that we are the legitimate owners/administrators of this Microsoft 365 tenant. Please escalate this as an urgent tenant lockout / admin access recovery issue. Kind regards, itieurope.com email address removed for privacy reasons
I made a new microsoft 365 tenant and suddenly users appeared
Made a new Microsoft tenant account for a customer and few hours later suddenly there were several users on the list without being added? They include several no longer active users and old names for people(like maiden names for married women). The customer is currently using Google workspace and is transitioning to 365. Any idea why? And what happens if I just delete them all? Will they come back and haunt us again?
MCA billing account stuck in "under review" status for 4+ days, no resolution
I'm the Global Admin for a Microsoft 365 tenant (domain: fortunamg.net) recently transitioned from a GoDaddy CSP reseller relationship to a direct Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) billing account. After setting up the MCA billing account and adding a payment method, I attempted to make an edit to my billing account address (updating to the new 9-digit zip code format). This triggered an "Account under review" status, which states the review usually takes up to 2 days. It has now been over 4 days with no update or email notification. This review is blocking me from purchasing a subscription, which I need to do to restore an active Microsoft 365 subscription on this tenant (currently showing as "Disabled" following the GoDaddy detach). Billing Account ID: 7793dd6e-68c9-5362-c5e2-3fe091b9854c Domain: fortunamg.net Could someone help check the status of this review or escalate to the appropriate team? Phone support has been unable to resolve this. Thank you.

Is Office 365 E3 Developer free
Hi, My tenant had a license named "Office 365 E3 Developer" which allowed us to use Outlook / Exchange (among other Microsoft Office products). This license isn't from the Microsoft 365 Developer Program, which come with free licenses. This license costed CA$11.60 a month per user when we initially purchased it. On May 2, 2026 it still costs $11.60, but when I received my monthly invoice for this tenant, this license was free. I searched around to see whether this license became free recently, but I couldn't find any info on this. The links I found all say it's a paid license. I was wondering if there's any info on this to see why it became free? Or is it a mistake and Microsoft'll be charging us the next billing cycle? JasonInherited group-based license service plan checkboxes are now editable but fail on save
Hello, We are observing a possible UI regression in the Microsoft 365 admin center related to group-based licensing. Environment / scenario: - Microsoft 365 admin center - User-level “Licenses and apps” screen - The user receives the Microsoft 365 license through group-based licensing - The source group is a Microsoft Entra dynamic security group - The license and service plan settings are intended to be controlled at the group-based license assignment level We understand that when a license is inherited from a group-based license assignment, the apps/services for that inherited license should not normally be changed directly at the individual user level. The service plan configuration should be managed at the group/license assignment level. However, the current UI behaviour is confusing. Observed behaviour: 1. Open a user in the Microsoft 365 admin center. 2. Go to the user’s “Licenses and apps” screen. 3. The user has a Microsoft 365 license inherited from a group-based license assignment. 4. Some app/service checkboxes appear to be enabled and editable. 5. An administrator can actually clear/uncheck those checkboxes. 6. However, when clicking OK/Save, the operation fails with an error. In other words, the UI allows an administrator to make a change that cannot actually be committed. The reason this looks like a regression is that the previous UI behaviour was different. Previously, when a user’s Microsoft 365 license was inherited from a group-based license assignment, the relevant app/service checkboxes on the user-level “Licenses and apps” screen were greyed out or effectively read-only. Administrators could visually understand that those service plan settings could not be changed directly at the individual user level. Recently, those same checkboxes appear to be active and editable. The administrator can uncheck them, but the change fails only after clicking OK/Save. From an administrator UX perspective, this is confusing because the UI appears to allow an unsupported operation and only rejects it at save time. Expected behaviour: If service plan settings for an inherited group-based license cannot be changed at the individual user level, we would expect one of the following behaviours: - The checkboxes should remain disabled/read-only from the beginning. - The UI should clearly state that these apps/services are inherited from a group-based license assignment. - The Save/OK button should be disabled for changes that cannot be applied. - The UI should provide a link or guidance to manage the setting at the group-based license assignment level. Questions: 1. Has anyone else observed this recent change in behaviour? 2. Was this UI change intentional? 3. Is this a known issue or known UX regression in the Microsoft 365 admin center? 4. Is there any scenario where these checkboxes are intentionally editable for a user who receives the license only through group-based licensing? 5. Does this behaviour differ depending on whether the source group is an assigned security group or a dynamic security group? 6. Is there any recommended administrator workflow when troubleshooting service plan settings for a user whose license is inherited from a group-based license assignment? To clarify, this is not a question about how group-based licensing works. The concern is specifically about the UI behaviour where inherited license service plan checkboxes were previously greyed out, but now appear editable even though the change fails on save. If this is not intentional, it would be helpful if the Microsoft 365 admin center could restore the previous read-only/greyed-out behaviour, or clearly explain in the UI why the change cannot be saved. Thank you.MC1269241 - Can't turn off antropic for agentmode
Hi, I’m trying to figure out how to turn off the new feature where Anthropic is enabled by default for everyone in the EU for agent mode in excel and powerpoint, as described in the Message Center news in the title. It is not possible to press Save when you have unchecked the setting unless you also consent to the terms of use, it is greyed out. Since we want the feature turned off, we do not want to agree to any terms of use. Has anyone found a solution? This seems to be misconfigured.The Admin Center offers a uniquely retro approach to licensed group management
You can see the name of licensed groups from the licensing blade, but you can’t click it or copy the name. Instead, you manually retype it elsewhere—because nothing says “modern cloud platform” quite like a 1997‑era workflow.
