Adding Microsoft licences during a subscription term

What usually happens

• Additional seats can often be added to an existing subscription during the term.
• The added seats normally align to the existing subscription and remaining term, rather than creating a completely separate renewal cycle.
• Pricing and eligibility depend on the product, current subscription and the route through which the subscription is purchased.

Information needed

• Product name or SKU.
• Number of additional seats.
• Whether the seats should be assigned immediately or held unassigned.
• Names and email addresses of users if assignment is required.
• Internal approval or purchase reference if your organisation requires one.

Things to check before adding

• Confirm whether an existing unused seat can be reassigned before purchasing more.
• Confirm whether the user needs the full licence or a lower-cost/add-on option would be more appropriate.
• Check whether the change affects budgets, renewals or planned optimisation activity.
