THE SHORT ANSWER

Business licensing should leave your company in control of its domain, users and Microsoft 365 tenant.

Define the requirement

Confirm the number of users, required applications, current email provider and whether your organization needs advanced security or device management.

Verify the purchasing relationship

Ask how the partner provisions licenses and which entity bills your business. Ensure the process is tied to the tenant your organization controls.

Confirm tenant ownership

Your administrator should retain control of user accounts, security settings and organizational data. Never hand over administrator passwords as a condition of purchasing licenses.

Plan migration before changing providers

If moving from Gmail, cPanel or another provider, inventory mailboxes, review DNS records, plan a cut-over and arrange post-migration checks.

Ask about ongoing support

Clarify how license additions, billing, renewals and changes are handled and obtain a written quotation with applicable terms.

Plan features and licensing conditions can change. Confirm current options and terms before purchasing.
