Answer 1

Hi,

Previously, Microsoft 365 Premium included a Linkedin Premium subscription, but that is no longer the case.

I am afraid you would have to purchase it separately.

I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Otherwise, please take a moment to rate the answer. Wishing you good luck!

Answer 2

A Microsoft 365 subscription does not automatically include LinkedIn Premium, and LinkedIn Premium is not part of the Microsoft for Startups Microsoft 365 benefit either.

From the available information:

• The Microsoft for Startups offer includes a one‑year subscription to Microsoft 365 Business Premium, but explicitly states that Microsoft 365 Copilot isn’t included and must be purchased separately; LinkedIn Premium is not listed as part of this benefit.
• LinkedIn Learning content can surface inside Viva Learning, but LinkedIn premium content requires its own LinkedIn Learning subscription, separate from Microsoft 365.

To activate LinkedIn-related premium content where supported:

1. Ensure the required licenses/subscriptions are in place:
   • For Viva Learning: a Viva Suite or Viva Learning license, and a LinkedIn Learning subscription for LinkedIn premium content.
2. As a Viva Learning admin, go to the Viva Learning admin settings and use the LinkedIn Learning premium content toggle to turn access on for learners, as shown in the documentation screenshot.

If the expectation is a promotional LinkedIn Premium offer bundled with a Microsoft 365 subscription (for example, via a university or a special campaign), that offer and its activation link would be delivered by email from the campaign itself. In a similar case, the resolution was simply finding the offer email in a different mail client (it appeared in the user’s Gmail when viewed on a Mac, but not on the phone). Checking all mail folders (including spam/junk and using a desktop browser) for the promotion email is recommended.

If no promotion email exists and no separate LinkedIn Learning/Premium subscription has been purchased, LinkedIn Premium cannot be activated from Microsoft 365 alone based on the provided information.
