The steps to renew Exchange Online Plan 1 and obtain the invoice depend on how the subscription was originally purchased.
If the subscription was purchased directly from Microsoft with Global Administrator access:
- You can manage renewal or billing directly from the Microsoft 365 admin center by navigating to Billing > Your products. Locate Exchange Online (Plan 1), then select Renew (if recurring billing is turned off) or review the subscription’s expiration date. Please refer to this article: Manage recurring billing in the Microsoft 365 admin center
- Invoices for subscriptions paid directly to Microsoft can be downloaded from Billing > Bills & payments > Invoices in the Microsoft 365 admin center. For your reference: View or download your invoice in the Microsoft 365 admin center
If the subscription was purchased through a partner or reseller:
- You must contact the same partner or reseller who manages the subscription to request renewal. Microsoft cannot renew subscriptions that are managed and billed through a third‑party partner without their authorization.
- Invoices for partner‑managed subscriptions are issued by the reseller or agent and will not appear in your Microsoft 365 admin center. As the payment was made from the partner’s financial account, you will need to request the invoice directly from them.
Since you mentioned that an agent paid for the previous subscription, this typically indicates that the subscription is managed by a third‑party reseller or partner. In this case, your best course of action is to contact that reseller directly to request renewal and billing documentation. If the reseller is no longer available, you may need to purchase a new Exchange Online Plan 1 subscription directly through the Microsoft 365 admin center and reassign licenses to your users to avoid service interruption.
