Hi@Andy C3000,
To identify the Cross Tenant User Data Migration add-on license, you can follow these detailed steps:

Check Subscription Plans: Ensure that your Microsoft 365 subscription plan includes the necessary licenses. The add-on is available for Microsoft 365 F1/F3/E3/E5, Office 365 F3/E1/E3/E5, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business.

Enterprise Agreement: Verify that your organization has an Enterprise Agreement (EA) or Enterprise Subscription (EAS), as the add-on license is typically acquired through these channels.

• For CSP agreements, you can access the Microsoft Partner Center.
• Sign in with your partner credentials.
• Navigate to the "Customers" section and select the customer whose agreement you want to check.
• Review the details of the CSP agreement, including the products and services provided, billing information, and any add-ons purchased.
• Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) Agreement:
• Go to the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) website.
• Sign in with your Microsoft account credentials.
• Once logged in, select "Licensing" from the top menu.
• Click on "Relationship Summary" to view your agreements.
• In the Relationship Summary, you will see a list of your agreements.
• Click on the specific Enterprise Agreement you want to review.
• This will display detailed information about the agreement, including the effective date, expiration date, and the products covered under the agreement

1. One-Time Fee: Confirm that the license is a one-time fee per user migration. This fee can be assigned either on the source or target user object.
2. Pre-requisites: Ensure that you have the necessary pre-requisites, such as Exchange Online and/or OneDrive for Business via standalone or Microsoft 365/Office 365 suite.
3. Identify the License:
   • Navigate to the Admin Center: Go to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
   • Billing Section: In the left-hand navigation pane, select "Billing" and then "Products & services."
   • Search for the Add-On: Use the search bar to look for "Cross Tenant User Data Migration."
   • Check License Details: Verify the details of the add-on license, including the SKU and description.
4. Assign the License:
   • User Management: Go to "Users" and then "Active users."
   • Select User: Choose the user who needs the migration license.
   • Assign License: Click on "Licenses and Apps" and assign the "Cross Tenant User Data Migration" add-on license to the user.
5. Verify License Assignment:
   • Check User's Licenses: Ensure that the user has the correct licenses assigned, including the migration add-on.
   • Confirm in Admin Center: Verify in the Admin Center that the license is active and correctly assigned.

By following these steps, you can identify and confirm the Cross Tenant User Data Migration add-on license for your organization. If you need further assistance, you can contact your Microsoft account team for more details.
