The problem

License decisions get made without the data to make them well.

Microsoft 365 Admin Center shows you who has what. It doesn't show you who's using it, which licenses haven't had an active user in 90 days, or what your storage overages are quietly costing you.

 

Unassigned licenses

Purchased seats with no user attached keep renewing automatically. Microsoft won't reclaim them for you.

 

Inactive user licenses

Departed or disabled accounts still hold E3, E5, and Copilot licenses until someone manually finds and removes them.

 

Storage sprawl

With storage moving to pay-as-you-go billing, unmanaged consumption stops being an IT problem and starts showing up on invoices.

What you'll learn

Four changes. One hour. A clear plan before your next renewal.

60 minutes to understand exactly what's changing July 1, where your exposure is, and how to get ahead of it before the changes force your hand.

 

Why July 1 is four changes landing simultaneously, not just a price increase

 

How licenses accumulate silently and why Microsoft won't clean them up for you

 

Where E5 is over-assigned and how to right-size before buying more

 

What pay-as-you-go storage billing means for unmanaged SharePoint sprawl

 

Why native admin tools leave critical gaps in license visibility

 

How to audit inactive users and reclaim licenses before your next renewal
