Licensed Users Count
The licensing of the Syskit Point subscription is based on licensed Microsoft 365 accounts..
Licensed users are all users with any Microsoft 365 license attached to them, except for those listed as Free Licenses.
- Only unique licensed users or guest users will be counted, regardless of how many licenses the unique user has assigned to them.
- Guest users only fit into that category if they have a paid license assigned.
- Having a license assigned to guest users is unnecessary for rudimentary use cases such as sharing content and using the Microsoft Teams app.
The number of licensed users within Syskit Point can be found by going to Settings (1) > General (2) > Point License (3) > Number of licensed users M/N (4).
- Open a report with all your assigned paid licenses by clicking the View Point Licenses button (5).
- M is the number of licensed users in the tenant
- N is the number of Paid users that are included in the Syskit Point license
Clicking the View Point Licenses button opens the Point Licenses report screen with a list of all paid licenses assigned to users in Syskit Point.
On that screen, you will find the following information:
- Display Name (1) of the user
- Licenses (2) assigned to the user
- Username (3) shows the email of the user
- Department (4) that the user belongs to
You can also use the column chooser (5) to add columns to the report.
The exact number and type of licenses assigned to users in Syskit Point can be found on the Licensed Users screen.
- Click Users (1) on the left side of the Home page
- Select Licensed Users (2) from the drop-down menu or tile
- Browse (3) by type of license assigned to users under the Licenses section
To access information on how many assigned licenses exist in your Microsoft 365 environment, visit the admin center and take the following steps.
Under Billing (1), select Licenses (2). The list of owned licenses (3) will then be shown.
- The Available Licenses (4) column shows the number of licenses available to be assigned to users.
- The Assigned Licenses (5) column shows the number of assigned licenses compared to the available number.
Selecting each license allows you to Assign it to additional users or Unassign it from current ones. This can help with optimizing the cost of the Syskit Point subscription to suit your needs better.
To unassign users from a license, click on the license name to select it. The License details (1) screen will open.
- Once there, select an individual user, or the top box to select all users (2).
- This will provide the option to click on Unassign licenses (3); a pop-up will open requesting you click the Unassign button to confirm.
The pricing for Syskit Point is calculated based on each user with an assigned license. For example, if one user has three licenses, the charge would still be for that single user, regardless of the number of licenses assigned.
License Cleanup
If you have inactive users, you can remove their license through Syskit Point through the following steps:
- Click the Reports button (1) on the left of the home screen; the Reports page will open with several available options
- Select Licenses from the drop-down menu (2) of the reports screen;
- Click the Inactive Licenses report (3); this will generate the report that will show you all of the licenses currently assigned to inactive users or guest users
- Select the license of an inactive user (1); you can select one or multiple licenses.
- To select all inactive licenses, press the top checkbox on the left side next to the title 'License.'
- Press the Remove Licenses button (2); it is located on the right side of the screen.
- Once selected, a pop-up appears.
- Type REMOVE and click the Remove button to proceed.
Please note that if the license is assigned automatically to the user once they are added as a member of a specific group, it cannot be manually removed. The license is removed automatically once the user is removed from being a group member. For more information about removing users from workspaces, read this article.
