MC222870	(Updated) Update to license overallocation process for select subscriptions purchased through Microsoft Volume Licensing	Microsoft is updating our license overallocation process to; Improve the customer experience when executing specific license transition scenarios (like a step-up order or a seat reduction), and Avoid unintended license consumption. Our updated license overallocation process permits a customer to temporarily have more licenses assigned to users relative to the number of licenses currently owned. Overallocation permits the customer to manage the transitioning of user license assignments to align with their new license types and counts while ensuring existing users have uninterrupted access to their services. This updated process also supports automatic adjusts of overallocations on a periodic basis, eventually aligning with what the customer now owns. A simple sample scenario; A customer currently has an E3 subscription for 300 seats. After November 2, 2020, all customers on an Enterprise Agreement will be limited to assigning up to 300 users to an E3 license. The customer subsequently places a ?Step-up? order for 100 seats of E5. The customer now owns 200 E3 seats and 100 E5 seats. Prior to any overallocation process, up to 100 existing E3 users could have lost access to the service (100 more E3 licenses are assigned relative to the 200 now owned), even though 100 E5 licenses are now available. Under the original overallocation logic, there was a fixed amount of overallocation to ensure no user would lose services, however this did not adequately protect customers from overconsumption. With our updated overallocation logic, 100 E3 seats are automatically provided (matching what had been allocated), to ensure all existing E3 users will maintain access to their Microsoft 365 services. Additionally, as the customer transitions users, periodic adjustments are also made. e.g.; The customer subsequently transitions 75 users from E3 to E5. When a ?periodic check? occurs, our logic recognizes the license transitions that have taken place and adjusts the overallocation down to 25 (from 100). Customers remain responsible for their license consumption, therefore the 100 E3 users should be transitioned to E5 as soon as possible to align assignments with what the customer owns now. Assuming the customer completed their license transitions to E5, when the next ?periodic check? occurs, the remaining 25 seat overallocation will now be adjusted down to 0.	Updated December 09, 2020; This change is being postponed for several months. We will deliver a new Message Center post 30 days in advance once the updated delivery date is confirmed.

MC222870	(Updated) Update to license overallocation process for select subscriptions purchased through Microsoft Volume Licensing	If you only assign licenses using the Microsoft 365 admin center User Interface, this message is for awareness only. If you utilize license assignment workflow automation (e.g. via PowerShell scripting) AND your automation logic permitted assigning more licenses than owned, you will need to update the automation logic to avoid an overallocation. To avoid potential process failure, update Automation logic before November 2, 2020. Note that already licensed users will not see any loss or impact to their service. If you utilize Group Based Licensing, you should periodically verify your available licenses are adequate for group membership counts. If you anticipate having an insufficient number of licenses to meet your needs, you may be able to place a license reservation on the https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center. You may also want to contact your account team, reseller or partner, who can address questions and place orders on your behalf. Additional Information; Our updated license overallocation process only applies to the following license transition scenarios; step-up transitions, intentional true downs, returns and credit scenarios. To learn more about licensing, including License Reservations and how to make a License Reservation, please visit the https://docs.microsoft.com/licensing/license-faq Licensing FAQ. Microsoft values feedback and questions from our customers. Please feel free to reach out to your account team, reseller or partner for more information.
