Has there been any update to the number of licenses required for Copilot for Microsoft 365?
Yesterday I raised a ticket with Support asking how I could enable Copilot for Microsoft 365. We have 50 users, and are on the M365 E3 plan. The agent replied that I needed to purchase the stand-...
Is there documentation highlighting 500 licenses? We have been told and only read 300 ME3 or ME% licenses...
It's 500 EA licenses(E3 or E5) or buying it via CSP. There's no Microsoft link currently as I can find but from 1 nov 2023, the requirement was company that wants to acquire Copilot in the first wave will need to have at least 500 E3 or E5 licenses in your organization.

- I cannot find a great public Microsoft source but we are in agreement with them for 300 Copilot licenses + 100 ME3.
This link does highlight 300 for extensibility purposes. Unsure why it would list that if 500 is the minimum.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-copilot/extensibility/prerequisites#enterprise-customers-with-microsoft-copilot-for-microsoft-365- I Believe it's a miss, I'll ask around.
But yeah 500 Seats of Enterpreise agreements is required to be able to buy copilot licenses
