To help streamline the license management experience, we are now offering ISVs the choice to enable Microsoft Teams License Management for their transactable SaaS offers at time of publishing, and for these offers, Teams customers will be able to manage their subscriptions and assign licenses directly in Teams.

Microsoft Teams License Management for ISV SaaS offers will be accessible in two ways –

1. In Teams Client App Store, via the Manage Apps section, the user can view their app subscription and view/assign and unassign licenses.
2. In Teams Admin Center, via the “Manage Apps” section, Admins can view their Apps and view/assign and unassign licenses. They can also assign licenses from the Subscriptions list view.

With this feature, Teams Admins and users can view all their subscription License allocations in one place, to manage assignments. Assignments can be done for single or multiple users or a team, with a single click.
