Licensing updates for Microsoft Cloud products – July 2025

Microsoft now offers the Microsoft 365 Copilot promotion without prerequisites. Additionally, customers with an MCA agreement can now purchase a Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise device license.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Promotion

Microsoft has introduced an updated Microsoft 365 Copilot promotion, extending and enhancing the previous offer.
Previously, the promotion required a Microsoft 365 Apps for Business license. The updated version removes this prerequisite and is now also available to organizations using E-licenses.

Microsoft has not yet updated the marketing materials for the original promotion. However, the information is included in the license SKU details. Microsoft may update the details in the coming days.

• The promotion for customers with a Business subscription has been extended until 30 September 2025, and is valid for up to 300 licenses.
• The promotion for customers with an Enterprise subscription is valid for orders placed between 16 June and 31 December 2025, with a maximum of 25 licenses.

Currently, customers may see two promotions. One is for Business customers (with the prerequisite), and the other is for Enterprise and Business customers (without a prerequisite). The MCA product ID is CFQ7TTC0MM8R.

Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise (Device)

Microsoft now offers the Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise device license to customers with an MCA contract. Previously, this license was available to customers with an EA contract and to Education customers.

As Microsoft describes it in the documentation:

Commercial customers can use Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise (device) to assign a Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise license to a Windows client device instead of to a user. Education customers can do the same thing by using the Microsoft 365 Apps for Education (device) license. This device-based license is designed to simplify management of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise on devices shared by many users. Anyone that signs in and uses that device can use Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise to create and edit documents.

The MCA product ID is CFQ7TTC0J1FX.
