SharePoint Advanced Management uses a per-user licensing model. You can purchase a standalone SharePoint Advanced Management license for each user in your organization. External users don't require this license.
If your organization has a Microsoft 365 Copilot license and at least one user is assigned to a Copilot license, SharePoint administrators automatically receive access to the SharePoint Advanced Management features required for Copilot deployment.
SharePoint Advanced Management standalone license
To use SharePoint Advanced Management as a standalone license, your organization must have one of the following base licenses: Users must be licensed for SharePoint K, P1, or P2 via standalone or a Microsoft 365 suite.
You can purchase the SharePoint Advanced Management Plan 1 add-on in the Microsoft 365 admin center, through a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), or through volume licensing enrollment. Contact your Microsoft account manager for further information.
SharePoint Advanced Management is available for Commercial, WW Commercial Public Sector, Education, and Charity. Support for US GCC, GCC-High, and DoD customers is coming soon.
SharePoint Advanced Management is $3 per user per month for commercial customers. For more details on licensing, contact your account manager.
