Important
Starting April 1, 2024, all new Enterprise customers who wish to provide workers with both Microsoft Teams and the value in existing Microsoft 365 or Office 365 Enterprise suites (E1/E3/E5) will need to purchase two SKUs: one E1/E3/E5 (no Teams) suite and one Teams standalone (Microsoft Teams Enterprise or Microsoft Teams EEA). Microsoft 365 Business suites (up to 300 users) and Frontline worker suites will be available in versions both with and without Teams.
For Enterprise customers in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, this change became effective on October 1, 2023.
Enterprise customers already subscribed to Microsoft 365 or Office 365 suites that include Teams prior to April 1, 2024 will continue to be able to use, renew, upgrade, and otherwise adjust their subscriptions that include Teams as before.
