This is an expensive license, but Copilot processing consumes more Azure and Microsoft 365 resources than normal user activity. Microsoft also announced that Copilot licenses would cost $30/user/month. The first two SKUs are for the enterprise market, the other two are restricted to 300 users per organization and are for the small-to-medium (SME) market. On July 18, Microsoft confirmed that the only product SKUs “eligible” to support Copilot are Microsoft 365 E3, Microsoft 365 E5, Microsoft 365 Business Standard, and Microsoft 365 Business Premium. Microsoft gradually reinforced the message when describing how organizations can prepare for Copilot in June. Bothered by Microsoft’s Choice of Eligible Copilot SKUsĮver since the March 16 Microsoft 365 Copilot announcement, I’ve been bothered about the focus on Microsoft 365 as the base for Copilot.
