Already using Microsoft 365?
You may not need more licenses. You may need a better mix.

Microsoft 365 licensing FAQs
Questions buyers ask before they talk to us.
What is the difference between Business Standard and Business Premium?
Business Standard is mainly about productivity and collaboration. Business Premium adds stronger identity, device management and security capabilities. If you manage company devices or want better protection for a growing team, Premium deserves a serious look.
Should we choose Business Premium or Microsoft 365 E3?
It depends on user count, Windows requirements, compliance needs and how complex your environment is. Many businesses also use a mixed model instead of giving every employee the same license.
Does every employee need the same Microsoft 365 license?
No. Frontline staff, office users, executives, developers and temporary workers often need different capabilities. Mapping licenses by role can reduce waste without leaving important users under-protected.
Is Copilot included with Microsoft 365?
Copilot availability depends on the specific subscription and market. Microsoft offers bundled Business Standard with Copilot and Business Premium with Copilot options, alongside other qualifying routes. We can help check what applies to your organization.
Can Netsmartz review our current Microsoft 365 licenses?
Yes. A licensing review can look at your current plans, user groups, likely underuse, security needs, renewal timing and Copilot readiness.
Can we change Microsoft CSP providers?
Yes, but timing matters. Your subscriptions, commitment terms, renewal dates and support requirements should be reviewed before you make the move.
How much does Microsoft 365 cost?
Pricing varies by plan, country, commitment term, billing option and current Microsoft program rules. Request a current quote so you receive the right commercial option for your users and market.
