It does link to another microsoft page that is pretty long and talks of teams licenses. Control access to Teams in your organization with user-level licensing. Tenant-level control for Teams was removed effective August 2018. that guide has a date of 2018, talks of the move from skype to teams, and ends with Lucid Flyer Thanks, maybe I am wrong but most anything from microsoft is wayyyy too long winded. I would just want to be able to explain 'I see teams is free, but you are charging us an extra $1. I certainly don't mind charging them more. PatrickFarrell everyone is on exchange plan 1 (you mention under the limit - the 300 user limit? there's 15 people in the office). We just moved to Microsoft 365 Business Premium to get many other security features and that is the first license level that foregoes the need to pay a separate ala carte fee for ATP. It is not built-in or included with O365 Business Premium or lesser plans. There is another add-on called Advanced Threat Protection that scans the files on Teams/SharePoint to prevent uploaded files not pre-screened by your current AV and FW from becoming an infection vector. Once you start using Teams, the ability to upload files via web interface into Teams (which is really just SharePoint) completely end-runs your AV security and firewall on your business workstations if they're allowed to connect with home systems or phones. Not sure if it is this coming October or later now.įinally, you mentioned ransomware, etc. I think there is a time limit, too.Īlso, are you using OWA (Outlook Web Access) and if not and you're using an Outlook installed client, where is the desktop license coming from? If older non-365 editions of Office, there has been announcements from MS they are not going to cut those off, but won't be worrying about compatibility. While we have higher level plans at work, I tried doing this for myself and family, and there are too many weird permissions and account issues trying to use the Exchange-only plan with free Teams. Once you start using Teams w/ Exchange, or have Exchange and want to use Teams, my advice is to not try to keep those separated and spend the additional $1/mon/user on the Business Basic plan Patrick Farrell mentions in the first post. "Free" Teams is a way to get you into the O365 family.
