Exchange hybrid licensing.

Here you posted the Hybrid Config Wizard would sense the Hybrid server and license accordingly. Has that been updated for Exchange server 2019? And is there supporting MS doc that explains a 2019 Hybrid server is now a FREE license when used specifically in Exchange 2019 / O365 Hybrid? (Azure AAD Connect configured and running in Free Mode).

Thank You.

    Hi

    https://aka.ms/HybridWizard is listed to work for Exchange 2019.

    To note, Exchange is free in such scenario, not the server itself, which need licensing to be formatted/activated.

    Does the Exchange hybrid server in my on-premises organization require an Exchange license?

    Yes. You need to license your hybrid server when you configure a hybrid deployment. The HCW is now able to detect and license your designated on-premises Exchange 2013, Exchange 2016, or Exchange 2019 hybrid server for free without going to a separate web site or calling Microsoft support.

    @Mitchell, Edward

    I think this is the blog that you want to find: Hybrid Experience Updates. For Exchange 2019 CU 12, HCW could provide a free license for it.
