Hi,

I would like to clarify Microsoft 365 Copilot Business licensing, it seems bit unclear.

Is a Microsoft 365 F3 license sufficient to publish Copilot Studio agents to Microsoft Teams or to Copilot for the entire organization, or do I need to purchase Microsoft 365 Copilot Business (18 €/user/month)?
In addition, if the tenant has Pay‑As‑You‑Go (Azure consumption) enabled for Copilot agents / AI usage:
1. I have Service user that is having F3 + Microsoft 365 Copilot Business (18 €/user/month) + Pay-as-you-go
  - Can Microsoft 365 Copilot Business (18 €/user/month) be cancelled after an agent has been published?
  - Will the published agent continue to work using Pay‑As‑You‑Go only, without the Copilot Business license?
  - (agent has been published to Teams or inside Copilot)

Kind regards: Vektori

Hi @Vektori1,

A Microsoft 365 F3 plan is eligible as a base license for adding Microsoft 365 Copilot Business.
The €18 Copilot license unlocks integrated features in Word, Excel, Teams, and allows publishing and managing agents without consumption billing limits.
Pay‑As‑You‑Go (with an Azure subscription and billing policy) lets you run agents without the €18 license, but capabilities can be limited, and all usage will be billed per Copilot Credits.
If you publish an agent and then cancel the Copilot license, the agent can keep functioning only if Pay‑As‑You‑Go remains enabled. However, advanced agent authoring and embedded Copilot in M365 apps will stop for that user.

Best regards,

Valantis
