Microsoft 365 Business Standard allows a maximum of 300 users per subscription. This limit applies to all Microsoft 365 Business plans, making them ideal for small to medium-sized organizations. For businesses requiring more than 300 users, Microsoft recommends upgrading to Microsoft 365 Enterprise plans.
Key Features of Microsoft 365 Business Standard for User Management
- User Limit: A maximum of 300 users can be added to a single subscription.
- License Flexibility: You can mix and match Microsoft 365 Business plans (e.g., combining Business Standard and Business Premium) within the 300-user cap.
- Scalability: If your organization grows beyond 300 users, you can transition to Microsoft 365 Enterprise plans without losing existing data or functionality.
