License updates for Microsoft Cloud products – October 2024

Microsoft did not introduce new licenses on 1 October, but changed the names of several licenses in September. It seems that the next phase of Project license renaming has begun.


Changed licenses

Project Plan 3 and Project Plan 5

Seems Microsoft has started the next phase of renaming Project Plans. Microsoft had already renamed Project Plan 1 to Planner Plan 1 last April.
For now, the Planner suffix has been added to Project Plan 3 and Project Plan 5.
