Microsoft 365 Education updates

This message is to inform you of two updates coming to Microsoft 365 Education, which will be publicly disclosed August 1, 2023. Important: do not share announcements with customers until made public on August 1st.
  1. Office 365 A1 Plus program will retire August 1, 2024. Microsoft will retire the Office 365 A1 Plus program, a free subscription that includes Office 365 desktop apps for qualified schools that purchased Office 365 institution-wide for faculty and staff. Today, Microsoft 365 A3 and A5 licenses are easier to provision, since both address customer requirements and the need for a transitional program. All existing Office 365 A1 Plus licenses will expire August 1, 2024. Note: Office 365 A1 will continue to be free to Education customers.
  2. Microsoft 365 Education storage updates coming August 1, 2024. Microsoft is introducing changes to storage offerings across our Microsoft 365 for Education suite. Beginning August 1, 2024, all school tenants will receive 100TB of free pooled storage across OneDrive, SharePoint, and Exchange, with an additional 50GB or 100GB of pooled storage per paid user for A3 and A5 subscriptions, respectively (not including student-use benefits). With pooled storage, schools’ total storage limit is the maximum amount of storage all users combined can use. Additionally, effective February 1, 2024, users of Office 365 A1 (free subscription) will be limited to a maximum of 100GB for OneDrive storage, within the 100TB of pooled storage for the school tenant. Schools will have the option to purchase incremental storage based on their needs. Microsoft will provide tools for visibility into current storage to manage customer usage.

With change comes opportunity. The changes for Microsoft 365 provide opportunities to upsell customers to higher-value subscriptions along with services to support customers through their migrations. Examples include services to support security, data governance, and moving stored files to cold storage in Azure.

Microsoft 365 教育版更新

此邮件旨在通知你有关 Microsoft 365 教育版的两项更新。这两项更新将于 2023 年 8 月 1 日公开披露。重要提示:在 8 月 1 日公开之前,请勿与客户分享此公告。
  1. Office 365 A1 Plus 计划将于 2024 年 8 月 1 日停用。Microsoft 将停用 Office 365 A1 Plus 计划,该计划是一项免费订阅,其中包括适用于符合条件的学校(均已在整个机构范围内为教职员工和工作人员购买 Office 365)的 Office 365 桌面应用程序。如今,Microsoft 365 A3 和 A5 许可证既能满足客户需求,又能满足过渡计划的需求,因此更易于预配。所有现有的 Office 365 A1 Plus 许可证将于 2024 年 8 月 1 日到期。注意:教育版客户将仍旧能够免费获取 Office 365 A1。
  2. Microsoft 365 教育版存储更新将于 2024 年 8 月 1 日上线。Microsoft 将在我们的 Microsoft 365 教育版套件中引入存储产品/服务变更。从 2024 年 8 月 1 日开始,所有学校租户将在 OneDrive、SharePoint 和 Exchange 上获得 100 TB 的免费池存储空间,并且每位 A3 和 A5 订阅付费用户还可分别额外获得 50 GB 或 100 GB 的池存储空间(不包括学生使用权益)。使用池存储时,学校的总存储限制是所有用户总共可以使用的最大存储量。此外,从 2024 年 2 月 1 日起,Office 365 A1(免费订阅)的用户将只能享受最多 100 GB 的 OneDrive 存储,该存储量包含在学校租户的 100 TB 池存储空间内。学校可以根据需要购买增量存储。Microsoft 将提供用于查看当前存储的工具,以便管理客户使用情况。

变化与机遇总是形影不离。Microsoft 365 的变更也带来了机遇,我们将有机会向客户追加销售更高价值的订阅以及可在客户迁移期间为其提供支持的服务,比如支持安全性、数据治理以及将存储的文件移动到 Azure 中的云存储的服务。

下载合作伙伴就绪工具包,其中包含推介幻灯片、常见问题解答和培训等重要资源,可帮助你管理客户对话、针对他们的独特需求进行规划并展示 Microsoft 365 的价值。
