A5 | Only employees are eligible for A5 licenses. To comply with legal requirements related to our Microsoft license agreements, anyone who is not an employee but who currently uses an A5 license, will be issued an A1 license on February 3, 2025. (except students, who have a different type) | ||
A1 Plus | Microsoft no longer offers the A1 Plus type license type. Organizations like RRU are required to issue different licenses to remain legally compliant with license agreements. We replaced A1 Plus license types with an A1 license type on December 9, 2024. | A5 | Only employees are eligible for A5 licenses.
