A new type of dependency is supported between two Office 365 license plans when the option in one Office 365 plan depends on another option in another Office 365 plan.
For example, user account might have two plans assigned: Office 365 (Plan E3) (ENTERPRISEPACK) and Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Plan (DYN365_ENTERPRISE_PLAN1). Office 365 (Plan E3) plan has SharePoint Online (Plan 2) option enabled, and Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Plan has a Project Online Service option enabled. Project Online Service depends on SharePoint Online (Plan 2) from Office 365 (Plan E3), thus Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Plan depends on Office 365 (Plan E3).
Such dependencies require Cayosoft Administrator to revoke and apply license plans in a specific order. To define dependencies, you should specify these plans in License Add-ins Services IDs setting in Microsoft Office 365 extension, Advanced Settings section. In the example above, specify DYN365_ENTERPRISE_PLAN1 in the License Add-ins Services IDs setting. |
