Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 licensing on E3 versus E5, unused seats, Copilot add-ons, and what actually true-ups. This category is the M365 file, not SQL Server, not Windows Server, and not the parent Microsoft mixed estate.
Coverage tracks assigned versus entitled users and the SKUs that price differently once Copilot or a listed cloud is in the path. Use the Microsoft category when the question still spans servers, SQL, and the EA in one true-up.
