Rollout

Rollout dates are often only in the text. When Microsoft moves them, the change shows under "What changed".

Schedule dates changed in the text

Date phrases in schedule sentences differ between the versions this installation saw
  • Seen 11 Aug 2025 late July 2025 → late September 2025
  • Seen 8 Jul 2025 mid-July 2025 → late July 2025

Read from date phrases in Microsoft's text, not from notice metadata. A changed phrase can be a moved rollout, a new milestone or just rewording; "What changed" below shows which.

What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, with source markup removed
Updated August 28, 2025: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience. We’re updating the product licensing experience in the Microsoft Admin Center to make it easier for admins to distinguish between direct and group-based license assignments. This update improves clarity and performance on the product licensing pages (Billing > Licenses), helping you quickly understand how licenses are assigned and to whom. When this will happen: Rollout will begin in late June 2025 and is expected to complete by late September 2025 (previously late July).  How this will affect your organization: Admins will see a new layout on the product licensing pages: Users with directly assigned licenses will appear in the User tab. Users assigned via Group-Based Licensing (GBL) will appear in the Groups tab. Product names have been updated and now offer improved multilingual support. To view users assigned via GBL, select the group name from the list of group assignments for that product, then navigate to the Successfully assigned tab. This change is designed to improve page load performance and make license assignment paths more intuitive. What you can do to prepare: Review and update any internal documentation, training materials, or processes that assume all license assignments appear in the User tab. After this update, license assignments will be split between the User and Groups tabs based on how the license was assigned.
