Product Licensing

In this topic:

About Product Licenses

Product licensing is based on the number of unique source accounts processed by the migration tasks. The licenses are only consumed once the migration task is started.

NOTE: Power Platform does not require licensing in preview mode.

The following object types do not consume any license,

  • Group mailboxes
  • AD Groups
  • Exchange resource mailboxes
  • Public folder mailboxes
  • Room mailboxes or equipment mailboxes
  • Shared mailboxes
  • Guest accounts

If both Exchange Standalone license and T3/T5/T7 license in active in the same Organization, then the license consumption is as follows:

  • Exchange Standalone license will be consumed first if the Organization has both Exchange and one of the Tier Licenses (T3/T5/T7) in the tenant-to-tenant project when performing Account or Mail Migrations.
  • Exchange Standalone license will be upgraded to the Tier Licenses when you perform a OneDrive Migration, or a Teams Chat migration. The previously consumed Exchange License will be returned and the Tier License will be consumed.
Trial License Quotas

The trial license is permanently assigned to the source account and may only be used for one migration project. You can use this account in any number of tasks (migration, re-matching, etc.) from one environment to another environment.

If the number of users in the task exceeds the number of available licenses, an error occurs. For example, a matching task will result in the following error.

There are no data limits for content migration of OneDrive, SharePoint, mailbox and public folders.

The following table shows the trial license quotas:
