Microsoft 365 Copilot: New user license requests

Microsoft 365 Copilot is introducing a new license request feature that will soon be widely available. This new feature enables users to request a Microsoft 365 Copilot license directly from their admin, allowing administrators to assign unused licenses or purchase additional ones as required. The license requests can be managed seamlessly in the Microsoft 365 admin center by Global admins, license admins, and user admins. Users will be able to self-service purchase or request a license from the admin for Microsoft 365 Copilot, adhering to the admin's settings from within Microsoft 365 apps. The rollout of this feature is expected to begin in early December 2024 and end by mid-January 2025. Global admins, license admins, and user admins will be able to manage license requests in the Microsoft 365 admin center after the rollout. Familiarizing themselves with the licensing process and self-service purchase settings at Microsoft Learn is recommended for license admins and user admins. It should be noted that Copilot for Microsoft 365 requires the users' managed devices to be on the Current Channel or Monthly Enterprise Channel to enable experiences in desktop apps.

For admins, the license requests will be available in the Microsoft 365 admin center on the Licenses page, where they can be approved or denied. Additionally, admins have the option to set up their own custom license request process outside of Microsoft Admin Center.
