Office 365 License Types
If you prepaid for your subscription with a product key, you can add more licenses by using another product key, or by adding a credit or debit card, or bank account to cover the additional cost of the new licenses. If your subscription is prepaid, you can't remove licenses.
How does buying or removing licenses affect my billing statements?
- Licenses added in the middle of your billing period appear on your next invoice. If you pay annually, you are invoiced within a month for these changes.
- On your next billing statement, the previous charge for the original number of licenses is deducted. We add a prorated charge for the time period with the original number of licenses and add a charge for the new license count. There's also a charge for the current license count for the remainder of your billing period.
Next steps
If you bought more licenses for your subscription, the next thing you should do is assign those licenses to users in your organization.
If you reduced the number of licenses for your subscription because someone has left your organization, you might want to remove that user’s account. To learn more, see Remove a former employee.
