Many customers purchase a Microsoft 365 base subscription and then, depending on their needs, choose to buy any number of add-on services to round out their implementation. Additionally, customers may choose to purchase apps from one of the thousands of vendors available in the Microsoft 365 store.
Get AI features, including grammar and style suggestions with Microsoft Editor, focused inbox and suggested replies in Outlook, and live captions and meeting transcription in plans with Teams. For business users signed in with a Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat offers limited AI-powered chat with enterprise data protection. While Copilot Chat uses public web data for tasks such as research and analysis, it doesn’t integrate with Microsoft 365 apps or organizational content such as files, emails, or chats. For deeper integration and extensibility, businesses should purchase Microsoft 365 Copilot as an add-on, which connects directly to productivity apps and organizational data.
Our Microsoft 365 for business base plans (charged per user) are designed for organizations with up to 300 users. Organizations with more than 300 users should consider subscribing to Microsoft 365 for enterprise plans. We reserve the right to enforce a tenant limit of 300 provisioned licenses across the family of business plans, in which case we will provide advance notice and further guidance. In the meantime, we are treating customers that have provisioned up to 300 licenses of each individual business plan (Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium) as compliant with this 300-seat limit. This applies even if they have provisioned more than 300 total licenses across the family of business plans.
Your data is yours. If you decide to cancel your Microsoft 365 subscription, you can download your data—for example, email and documents on team sites—and save it to another location. You should save your data before you cancel. After you cancel your subscription, data associated with your Microsoft 365 account will be available to your administrator(s) in a limited function account for 90 days.
