They’ll still be rolled up in an E3 license so corporations won’t really notice the difference
In Europe Teams isn’t included with E3 or E5.
The change will only apply automatically to new consumers though.
Would you happen to have a source that you could link on that please? I’ve been trying to see if it affects us since I read the Ars Technica story this morning. We have been getting Teams historically with the Office 365 E3 license that comes with our Action Pack sub.
Oh, it wasn’t a verified response, just one of those “well this is most likely how Microsoft will deal with it” things.
I suspect you’re correct, but I’d like to see it in black and white. I wear a number of hats and one of them makes me answerable to questions like “Why has my Teams stopped working?”
