How to buy

Microsoft 365 is available through a variety of licensing models and programs to meet customers’ needs. Microsoft 365 products are available as user subscription licenses (USLs) and are licensed on a per-user basis.

Full USLs

Are for new customers who haven't previously purchased a corresponding solution from Microsoft and for on-premises software customers who don't have Software Assurance.

Add-on USLs

Are for on-premises software customers who want to try a Microsoft 365 cloud solution without giving up their on-premises solution or who are not ready to fully transition to the cloud. Add-on USLs provide the full benefits of Microsoft 365 at a fraction of the cost. To purchase Add-on USLs, customers must have and maintain Software Assurance on their qualifying on-premises solution. Add-on USLs must be purchased on the same agreement or enrollment as the qualifying licenses.

Step-up USLs

Are for Microsoft 365 customers who want to upgrade the level of their service during the term of the enrollment or agreement. These licenses must be purchased on the same agreement or enrollment as the base license from which the customer is upgrading.

*Starting February 1, 2024, customers will not be able to order additional or new From SA subscription licenses for Microsoft 365 and its standalone products. This change will not impact the use and renewal of existing From SA licenses.
