Microsoft 365 Education is changing: what you need to know
Wednesday 11th November 2026

Education sector
Microsoft is reshaping its Microsoft 365 Education portfolio. The changes affect licensing, student entitlements, storage, security, AI, and some agreement routes.
Join Phoenix and Microsoft for a clear overview of the announcement. We will explain what changes now and what follows during 2027.
You will hear how the MA0 to MA7 portfolio is structured. We will also cover A1 and Student Use Benefit retirement.
The session will help you identify the questions your organisation should address. It will not replace a customer-specific licensing assessment.
