M365 E5/E3 terms of use
Hi All,
I have a question non-tech question, and hope someone can help me here. Currently my company has M365 E5 plan, but we will be hiring people for whom E3 plan should be sufficient. Can we purchase E3 plan in the same Enterprise Agreement and use both Microsoft 365 E5 and E3 plans simultaneously within the same company? Or perhaps there is some other way, like purchasing E5 and then downgrade it to E3 – does EA allow it?
I would appreciate any help. Thaks.
Hi JoS_2023, yes. This is 100% allowed and expected within organizations. It may be necessary to review what is in M365 E5 that could benefit those users and consider purchasing an add-on, as available/necessary.

Yes. You can use any combination of plans if you meet the prerequisites.

This might depend on the details of your agreement with Microsoft, but as far as I am aware, there is nothing preventing any organization from purchasing and using E3 plans alongside E5 plans in the same tenant.
