Hi,

 

I would like to know how Office 365 Backup counts license? The community edition is free with 10 license. Now I exceed the community edition by 3 license.

In the backup mail I see types of:

  • mailbox (which are users)
  • OneDrive (personal drive)
  • Web (Sharepoint sites)
  • Teams

I assume the license count is a mixtured of the types? Right?

Thanks - is it correct when I exceed the community edition license count I need to buy license for all users and not just for the users which exceed the community edition license counts?

Yes, you need to buy for all users you are protecting because the edition will change.

You can exceed the number of licenses by 20%, this gives you some headroom when reaching the limit and extending your current license.
