Microsoft 365 licensing is not static.

Users join. Change roles. Leave.
Usage evolves.
Licenses often remain untouched.

Over time, this creates drift and unnecessary cost.

With packaging and pricing changes coming in July 2026, the impact of that drift becomes even more significant.

In this webinar, we break down how Microsoft 365 licensing actually works in practice. From subscriptions and SKUs to service plans and tenant-wide security components. And why many organizations gradually become overlicensed.

In this session, we cover

• How Microsoft 365 subscriptions, SKUs and service plans are structured

• The difference between technical capability and contractual entitlement

• July 2026 pricing and packaging changes for E3, E5 and Business Premium

• Common patterns of over-licensing across real environments

• Why role design and operational reality often diverge

• The identity visibility gap and how it drives license drift

We also demonstrate how Bsure provides visibility into

• Inactive and disabled licensed users

• Overlapping and unused licenses

• Renewal exposure

• License history and long-term trends

As Microsoft pricing increases, control becomes more important than ever.

If you are responsible for Microsoft 365 licensing, cost control, IAM, or renewal planning, this session provides a practical framework for regaining visibility before your next renewal.
