M365 E5 vs. Office 365 E5 Regarding Business Apps (Free) - Specifically Bookings
SO, super confused on this. We have M365 E5 License (primarily), Office365 Business Premium, and Office 365 Business Essentials licenses in our tenant. I am trying to get the Bookings app to be available to our M365 E5 users, but can't seem to get it to work. I had a test user with O365 BP created and it works without having to do anything. I can even add the M365 users as admins to the Bookings site/calendar, but when I try to login to the bookings site online (https://outlook.office365.com/owa/?path=/bookings/calendar) with an M365 E5 user it says that I don't have access and that licenses have changed recently. So, a couple of questions/clarifications: What version of office is included with M365 E5? Is it O365 E5? O365 E3, O365 BP, something else? The reason being that Bookings states that it only works with BP, O365 E3, and E5 versions. How does this work/not-work across different MS/Office licenses? IE - why does it work with BP vs M365 E5? Do the organization level changes described here need to be applied to affect the M365 E5 users? https://support.office.com/en-us/article/get-access-to-microsoft-bookings-5382dc07-aaa5-45c9-8767-502333b214ce https://support.office.com/en-us/article/turn-microsoft-bookings-on-or-off-for-your-organization-c27537fa-525e-47a8-aadf-9b07ee75c227?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US Sorry, please ask for any clarifying information that I can provide. Note I am not an admin on this tenant and am relying on our Service Provider to do the above-referenced changes to our apps/settings/etc. and make sure everything is set up correctly. It is very difficult for me to sit back and take their word for it that everything was done correctly, so are there any ways I can verify any of the settings without admin access?15KViews2likes10CommentsRe: M365 E5 vs. Office 365 E5 Regarding Business Apps (Free) - Specifically Bookings
ChrisHoardMVP I am being told by my MSP that Microsoft is singing a different tune and that licensing and feature availability for M365 E5 (My local version of office says Pro Plus) is, in fact, different than O365 E5. The MSP states that they did all of the steps noted in the linked article to enable Business Apps (Free) for our E5 users, but it still does not work. Any thoughts?15KViews1like4Comments
