The standard activation limit is 5 concurrent devices per user which can be managed in the “Office 365 Activations” item of the user tab in 365 admin. This shows what devices are activated and allows remote deactivation if a device is retired or a user hits the 5 device limit. 365 Business Premium has a shared activation option for things like Remote Desktop but I have never looked into how that affects the 5 device per user limit.

If the traveling users only use 5 computers then they are i the clear. If not then you may have to deactivate computers as needed to allow reactivation or consult M$.

Hello 365 Admin3,

Good day! Thanks for posting in Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

I understand you want to share your Microsoft Business Standard license among few users simultaneously. It is not feasible for multiple users to share one license on different user accounts; it is one user one license. If you would like your users to access the services offered by your license through your license you will need to give them your credentials that is password and username, however this method is not recommended as different users can temper with may things including your data and settings.

However, you can use one license to cover fully installed Office apps on five mobile devices, five tablets, and five PCs or Macs per user. See Invite users to a Microsoft 365 business subscription - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn

We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi Vincent, I don't think that the OP's question was vague at all. In any event the maximum licences for M365 Business Basic (Identity, access, and user management for up to 300 employees) and M365 Business Standard (Everything in Business Basic, plus:) and Microsoft 365 Business Premium is (Everything in Business Standard, plus). Compare Microsoft 365 Plans | Microsoft 365 And the OP specifically asked: "How many users can be licensed on one MS 365 Business Premium License?" AND the answer is 300.

Hello REDZ**,**

Good day! Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft community.

As per your description and my understanding, you are looking for clarification regarding the licensing terms of Microsoft 365 Business Standard.

Specifically, if it is legally permissible to share a single Microsoft 365 Business Standard license among multiple individuals.

As you already know, the license can be used on up to five devices but your main concern, if it is compliant with Microsoft's terms of service for multiple users in a production department to share the same account ("Production") under one license.

To clarify your scenario, YES. You can legally assign one license to multiple users among same account ex."production".

From the admin center you can assign and unassign this one license for an unconditional term as long as your license in valid.

Please not that, the user who it's going to be assigned on. Only that individual user ID can be used to use 5 devices.

Problems that you might face:

Please note that, business standard license is used for some special benefit.

• For example, you have 50GB storage and 50GB archive mailbox.
• Whenever you unassign the license from an individual, there is policy that after a certain time your whole data will be erased. And you might face difficulties archiving mailbox within a short period.

For your reference: Remove a former employee - Overview - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn.

When you remove or delete a license, the user's old email, contacts, and calendar are retained for 30 days, then permanently deleted. If you remove or delete a license but don't delete the account, the content in the user's OneDrive will remain accessible to you even after 30 days.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
