Microsoft Copilot License Requirements
Until yesterday I thought the basic requirements were Business Premium, M365 E3 or E5. Now it seems that only Apps for Enterprise, M365 E3 or E5 go?
- It's true and I posted a screenshot taken from the licensing documentation (in the small print) earlier on in this thread.
Basing my reply on: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-copilot/how-to-prepare-for-microsoft-365-copilot/ba-p/3851566
"Copilot users must have either a Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license [1] and an Azure Active Directory account". On top of that, users must be assigned a "Microsoft 365 Copilot license using the Microsoft 365 admin center (under Billing > Licenses)"
So, it's an add-on license, but you can only add it on to E3 or E5.
And Microsoft adviced, to gain the most benefit in and from CoPilot, to also use a teams premium license. This was told like two weeks ago during an webinair.
