my company bought 1000 M365 E3 subscriptions.
I see these as 1000 O365 E3 plus 1000 EMS E3 in the Licenses panel of the Azure AD.
However I cannot see the Windows 10 Enterprise licenses that come with the M365 E3 subscription.

In addition we bought 200 M365 F3 subscriptions.
These I see as 200 M365 F3 licenses in the Azure AD License panel.
And within these M365 F3 licenses i see the Windows 10 Enterprise licenses included.

Where do i see and can assign the 1000 Windows 10 Enterprise licenses from the M365 E3 subscription?

Thanks,
Franck

    @Franck Marteaux
    Hi,

    Subscription Activation enabling users to “step-up” from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise automatically if they are subscribed to Windows 10 Enterprise E3 or E5.
    To take advantage of Windows 10 Enterprise E3, you must have the following:

    -Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 (Windows 10 Anniversary Update) or later, installed and activated, on the devices to be upgraded
    -Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) available for identity management

    After one of your users enters the Azure AD credentials associated with a Windows 10 Enterprise E3 license, the operating system turns from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise and all the appropriate Windows 10 Enterprise features are unlocked.

    So the licenses related with Azure AD credential, Windows 10 Enterprise E3 is available as online services via subscription. Deploying Windows 10 Enterprise in your organization can now be accomplished with no keys and no reboots.

    For your reference:

    Hope above information can help you.

    Hi @Jenny Feng ,
    no, the information that you provided did not really help.
    You provided information on how to activate Enterprise Edt, which was not my question.
    My questions was that I do not see W10 Enterprise licenses in my Azure AD licenses, even though we licensed M365 E3.

    I contacted customer support and they said, that might be because we licensed O365 first and then bought an Add On für M365,
    which resulted in Microsoft adding EMS E3 licenses.
    We need to open another support call to add the W10 E3 licenses.

    As a general remark, I realize that questions in the forum are answered very fast but in many cases not very accurate.
    Microsoft doc links are provided that often do not provide the answer.
    I am not sure if you guys are measured on some kind of KPI, but I rather wait a bit longer for a relevant answer than receiving an irrelevant right away.

    Kind regards,
    Franck

    Hi,

    Did Microsoft respond to the original question. The author of the question has correctly pointed out that his questions isn't answered and I was fishing for the same answer as him. We are subscripted for 550 Microsoft E3 subscription and need to know where we can get the Windows10 license key to use on our desktops.

    The article says Win10 pro supporting upgrade to subscription Win10 enterprise but what about if we want to image Win10 laptops, do we've to purchase Win10 Pro and then do update? It doesn't say on the M365 E3 that as a requirement to get the license, please point me to it if it says otherwise.

    Please advise.

    Thanks,
    Mani
