Office 365 Licensing and Powershell

I would like to write a script to create new users in Office 365 and I have almost all of it figured out but I cannot find a way to increase or decrease the license count. Is it possible to purchase more licenses using powershell or do I need to use the
online interface?

I found the below article which might help point you in the right direction....

  • Office 365 E3 and Office E4 differences

    Hi,
    What are the differences between Office 365 E3 and Office 365 E4? Any link for this?
    What about the Business Intelligence services any differences between E3 and E4?
    Thanks in advance

    Here is the plan description of Office 365 Enterprise E3 and Office 365 Enterprise E4:

    Leonidas is right that compare with Office 365 Enterprise E3, E4 plan includes Enterprise voice. For Busines Intelligence services, as far as I know, there is no differences between Office 365 Enterprise E3 and E4.

  • No Power BI for Office 365 License???

    Hi,
    we have installed the free Power BI SharePoint App. We have assigned the free license to two users.
    It now says correctly that we have 999998 of 1000000 licenses left. So far, so good :-)
    But...when I click "Power BI" in the left navigation pane, the App seems to start but then:
    "Keine Power BI für Office 365-Lizenz
    Sie besitzen anscheinend keine Benutzerabonnementlizenz für Power BI für Office 365."
    Which means in english: "No Power BI for Office 365 License...You don't have a user subscription license for Power BI for Office 365".
    But we do have assigend the license to these two users!
    Anybody have an idea what I can do?
    We would even pay for Power BI but there is no link where we can buy the full license?
    Thanks
    Malte

    I have the same problem as Jamie 
    I added Power BI to my E4 subscription.  However, when trying to access Power BI link on the left side of the screen, i get "No Power BI for Office 365 License" ask your admin.
    I'm one of the office 365 admins and have a license assigned to myself already. I have deleted the app and re-added it with no luck so far.
    Can you help please and suggest how to fix this?
    Thank you so much in advance for your help

  • Manage Office 365 Licensing via Azure API

    I am at a loss. We have an issue with limited available licenses for Office 365 Pro Plus for users to use on their home/personal machines. As a result we can not add all of our users, nor does anyone want to manage this manually.
    The solution I proposed is to write a web portal where users can go and selectively apply a license for their account. On the back end, the page would execute an API of some kind to Azure and assign a license. In return, they can also go to remove the license
    if they so desire (It will never happen but give the option).
    What is the best way of doing this? The Azure management portal is extremely confusing and I can not figure out where to begin... I created an API that I can't even figure out how to use and I'm not even sure that I will be able to accomplish this using
    an API. Any suggestions?
    I am using Visual Studio 2013 and at this point purely using a bare bones console app just to see if I can get connected and execute a test API.
    Thanks!
    Tony

    Hi,
    Your second sentence is unclear "We have an issue with limited available licenses for Office 365 Pro Plus for users to use on their home/personal machines".
    Users can install Office 365 ProPlus on up to five different computers with a single Office 365 license. For example, a user can have Office 365 ProPlus installed on a computer in the office, on a laptop to use when traveling, and on a home computer.
    With that in mind, do you really need to create this API?
    Here's some more info on the Pro Plus license:
    To use Office 365 ProPlus, a user must have an Office 365 account and have been assigned a license. If you, as the Office 365 administrator for your organization, remove a user’s license or account, the user’s installations of Office 365 ProPlus go into
    reduced functionality mode.
    Even though users don’t need to be connected to the Internet all the time to use Office 365 ProPlus, users must connect to the Internet at least once every 30 days. This is so that the status of their Office 365 subscriptions can be checked. If users don’t
    connect within 30 days, Office 365 ProPlus goes into reduced functionality mode. After users connect to the Internet and their subscription status is verified, all the features of Office 365 ProPlus are available again.

  • We have office 365 subscription and we need to merge our Microsoft Dynamics CRM online subscription to office

    Hi,
                 We have office 365 subscription and we need to merge our Microsoft Dynamics CRM online subscription to office 365
     For organization:  Softtrends Software Pvt Ltd (https://softtrendssoftwarepvtltd.crm5.dynamics.com)
    Office 365 organization :  Softtrends Software Private Limited
     [email protected]

    Hi there,
    If you already have two different Microsoft Online services accounts, then this is no easy task. If you sign up for two Microsoft Online services, using two different Microsoft Online services ID's, you basically need to choose which one to throw away, and
    then do a migration from one to another.
    If you have a lot of data in both of them, you could cross your fingers, and make a Service Request to Microsoft, hoping that they could do some magic for you, or at least tell you which migration track that's the easiest one.
    The important part is that you first sign in to the service you want to keep, and then register for a new one using Sign in, in stead of Sign up. This way they are automatically liked to the same Windows Azure Active Directory tenant.
    I hope I understood your question, and was able to help you here.

  • Office 365 logo and link in suite bar

    Does anyone know how I can hide, remove, or change the Office 365 logo and link in the suite bar?
    Stefanie Long

    If you want to hide those two bars please do the following
    1 – Open you site with SharePoint designer
    2 – If you are using a sandbox solution go to _catalogs/masterpage/themename
           If you are using a farm solution got to _catalogs/masterpage/
    3 – Check out and edit in advanced mode the master page you are using
    4 – Search for the comment <!--SuiteBar start-->
    5 – Right before it paste the line bellow
    <Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl runat="server" Permissions="ManageWeb">
    6 – Search for <!--SuiteBar end-->
    7 – Just below it paste the code
    </SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
    The SPSecurityTrimmedControl applied remove the suite bar but could not be used to remove the ribbon bar because SharePoint uses this one to calculate the scroll on the page.
    The ribbon bar has to be hidden using a small script.
    8 -  Search for <!--Ribbon end-->
    9 – Right below it paste the script
    <script type="text/javascript">
      var suitebar = $("#suiteBar");
      if(suitebar.length<1)
         $("#s4-ribbonrow").css('display','none');
    </script>

  • Stream 8 - Office 365 license

    I just got the HP Stream 8, and I am loving it. It is a great little device for a fantastic price, really, and I love being able to use Office on it.
    The problem is, I already have an Office 365 family subscription, so the Office 365 personal that comes with the tablet is a bit pointless. Is there a way to let somebody else use the sub that comes with the tablet? I don´t want to waste a perfectly good Office sub . 

    Hey @Rsenserrich ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're wondering if the free MS Office 365 subscription can be transferred to another person.
    HP doesn't really have control over how Microsoft chooses to manage there licenses. My best guess would be that the offer is contingent on making the purchase of a Windows tablet and is therefor locked to said tablet.
    However, if you would like a definite answer it would be best to inquire with Microsoft directly. You can reach them here: Office Support or by calling phone support at 1-800-642-7676.
    Thanks.

    Hi Alan,
    I am sorry for the issue you are experiencing right now.
    On Tuesday, August 5, 2013 at approximately 12:45 PM UTC, we receive a report that some of the users were unable to authenticate to the Exchange Online service when using the Outlook client. However, the issue has been restored.
    Since you are still having the issue, please follow the steps below to do the confirmation.
    1. Please make sure that all Outlook security patches and updates are installed on the affected computer. To check for the latest Outlook updates, please click on the link below.
    2. To make sure whether the issue is related to the Outlook client or the service, please try configuring the test account I send you through private message on the affected computer to check whether the issue exists. To check the private message, please follow
    the steps.
    a. Please go to Your details section on the right side of the community site.
    b. Click Private messages.
    c. Click the subject title of the responses to read the message.
    Please provide feedback, then we can move forward to check where exactly to look into the issue.
    At last, I would like to confirm whether your organization only have Exchange Online or have hybrid environment.
    Thanks,
    Yang Yu
    I noticed something a bit strange that SMTP is automatically put in front of the mailbox name.. i haven't seen that before
    Went to windows update and there is nothing to install
    it's interesting you say the 5th because that is exactly the last day that outlook successfully synced.. it hasn't worked since.. This is happening on 2 seperate computers and stopped working at the exact same time.
    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for the update.
    Based on the currently situation, I understand when configuring the test account provided by Yang Yu the issue persists. And you have a number of tablets and they are working fine. Thus the issue could be related to the certain Outlook client on this certain
    computer.
    Since we focus on Office 365 issues in this forum, I'm so sorry that I’m not able to provide the detailed instructions.
    To provide you with a better service, and sort out this issue more effectively, I suggest you post this issue in the following Outlook forum. The engineers there will help you get the issue fixed in a timelier manner.
    Outlook forum:
    At the same time, I will also continue doing some further tests and research. Thanks for your understanding and great efforts.
    Any community members with related experience on this issue who could share it here are also appreciated.

    Hi Alan,
    According to your description, the Outlook settings seems to be correct in your local machine. And some solutions have been tried to solve this issue:
    Create a new Outlook profile, start Outlook in safe mode, clean credentials cache in computer ect.
    But the issue persists. Please consider to configure your account on a computer which is working file with your colleague's Office 365 account to check whether the issue continues. If the issue only happens to your account, please access the mailbox in Webmail
    and change the password to have a try.

  • Office 365 (Word) and Onedrive comparability issue

    I have successfully used MS Mesh / Skydrive /
     OneDrive for years to sync my documents/PDFs folder between my desktop, laptop, phone, and iPad.  A month or so ago I purchased Office 365 and it caused all sorts of havoc in my Onedrive folder.  The thrust of the issue seems to
    involve Office 365 and Skydrive getting in the way of each other while trying to keep the documents up to date.  As skydrive tries to upload changes to a folder with Docs in it, a few of the documents will not update (leaving the red mark on the document
    icon instead of the blue check-mark showing it is up-to-date).  Office 365 share point will also give a list of documents that it was unable to sync (the list matches the trouble files in Skydrive).  Once this error hits a file, all of the content
    for the document is zero'ed out (and the file size decreases to 0 KB).  Thankfully, thus far this has only caused me to lose data from old, unimportant files.  This morning I lost data from an important file, but I had a backup of it saved in my
    email.
    I've tried a bit of my own trouble shooting.  At first I thought that the issue revolve around documents created in earlier editions of Word, so I created a folder in my Onedrive that was populated only with Office 365 Word documents, but this
    did not resolve the issue.
    It seems as if this problem affects documents randomly.  
    My hunch is that it occurs when Office 365's sharepoint tries to update a file at the same time Onedrive is updating the file.
    I also use the iPad app PDF expert to access my skydrive folder on the iPad (because I store PDF's in the folders as well), but I don't believe it to be the issue because: (1) it worked perfectly fine before I installed 365, and (2) the problem
    with Onedrive and Office 365 persisted after I disabled PDF Expert's sync with the Onedrive.
    Note: Office 365 worked fine until I used it to upgrade the version of Office installed on my computer.
    I do not want to be forced to keep my Word documents separate from my Onedrive folder as I store numerous non-Word documents in my Onedrive folder as well and need to save them in folders with Word docs.
    Thank you.

    The solution is very simple.
    You have to install Microsoft OneDrive from the Mac AppStore. It synchronizes your OneDrive folders to the Mac. Afterwards, you usually find a OneDrive folder in your Home folder. From there, you can access all files as usual. If you change any file, it will be synchronized in both ways (Mac to OneDrive, OneDrive to Mac).
    I use this on a daily basis and have no problems with it.
    Have a nice day!

  • User Agent Strings for Office 365 Install and Updates

    on client PCs to fail.
    Is there a repository of user agent strings used by Office 365 applications?
