Microsoft is looking to see that 85% or more of these E1 licenses are being used. As I wrote about here, Microsoft is cracking down on organizations that have unused (unassigned or assigned but no usage) E1 licenses. One other step you will want to take in responding to Microsoft 365 nonprofit price increases: make sure you are using your E1 licenses. Your other subscriptions will renew at the new costs.) Use Them or Lose Them (3/30 UPDATE: Microsoft confirmed to me that if you have the original E1 grant (free) subscriptions, these will renew at the same cost. I am confirming the details, but I know what steps you need to follow to keep these free.) (By the way: If you have zero-cost Office 365 E1 subscriptions, get in touch. The $0.25 per user savings per month would not justify the hassle of changing subscriptions. You would be trading a subscription costing $5.75 per user for one costing $5.50 per user. If you have an Office 365 E3 subscription, the closest alternative is Microsoft 365 Business Premium. Should you change Microsoft 365 subscriptions? No. (Except CGNET-related items of course 😊) Or look for ways to reduce your expenses elsewhere. If your budget year is already underway on September 1 st, plan to ask for a budget increase.
#Microsoft non profit pricing update#
Update your annual subscription costs to reflect the Microsoft 365 nonprofit price increases if your budget year starts on or after September 1 st. The most important action to take right now is budgetary. If you have other questions about this, Microsoft has a nice FAQ page on the subject here.
When will these Microsoft 365 nonprofit price increases take place? The price increases will apply at your next subscription renewal, on or after September 1, 2022. Then again, this is your budget I am talking about. On a dollar basis, the increases seem tame. The price increases range from meh to OMG, depending on the subscription.
