Licensing updates for Microsoft Cloud products – November 2025

Microsoft republished its Microsoft 365 and Office 365 Enterprise licenses with Teams, and retired Power Platform and Dynamics 365 licenses. Microsoft still offers a free Office 365 E3 Developer license, and my regular license check will now also collect Microsoft 365 product promotions.

New licenses

Microsoft 365 and Office 365 Enterprise licenses with Teams

As mentioned a few days ago, customers can again purchase Microsoft 365 and Office 365 Enterprise licenses that were previously retired in October 2023.
Microsoft republished the license SKUs from September 2023. In my tenant, the Office 365 E3 and E1 SKUs are still not published.

  • Microsoft 365 E5 (Product ID CFQ7TTC0LFLZ)
  • Microsoft 365 E5 without Audio Conferencing (Product ID CFQ7TTC0LFLZ)
  • Microsoft 365 E3 (Product ID CFQ7TTC0LFLX)
  • Microsoft 365 E3 – Unattended License (Product ID CFQ7TTC0LFLX)
  • Office 365 E5 (Product ID CFQ7TTC0LF8S)
  • Office 365 E5 without Audio Conferencing (Product ID CFQ7TTC0LF8S)

Office 365 E3 Developer (no Teams)

Microsoft has now also published an Office 365 E3 Developer SKU without Teams (Product ID CFQ7TTC0LF8R). Previously, this license was available only with Teams.

The license is still free and can be ordered for up to 10,000,000 seats for 3 years.
I am not sure if this is a mistake, because it is currently possible to order this license for a normal commercial tenant. But since Microsoft recently published the SKU without Teams, they are likely aware of this situation.
