Licence naming: group names for Microsoft 365 licences
Choose a naming style
Pick a style and every licence below gets its group name, ready for group-based licensing in Microsoft Entra ID or the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Why “LIC-{type}-{short}” works — and how to use the groups
- A fixed prefix such as “LIC-” keeps every licensing group together in lists and lets one startsWith filter find them all in Microsoft Entra ID or Microsoft Graph. Microsoft source
- The kind code (BASE, ADDON, VOICE …) shows at a glance which groups hand out a full licence and which only extend one — the order you assign them in.
- One group per licence keeps assignments easy to audit. If some users get a licence with services switched off, make a second group with a suffix such as “-NoExchange”: Microsoft lets you turn apps and services on or off per group assignment. Microsoft source
- Security groups, mail-enabled security groups and Microsoft 365 groups all work. Nested groups don’t: only direct members of the group receive the licence. Microsoft source
- Moving someone to another licence group? Add them to the new group first, check the licence arrived, then remove them from the old one — otherwise they can lose access for a while. Microsoft source
- Keep names stable: no prices, dates, owners or project names. Those change; a group name used in scripts and policies shouldn’t.
- If your tenant has a group naming policy, it applies to Microsoft 365 groups (prefix + name + suffix up to 63 characters), not to security groups. Microsoft source
