Key points:
- Timing: January 26, 2022
- Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 90047 and 88821
- Control: Admin control – Manage self-service purchases (Admin)
How this will affect your organization:

Eligible subscriptions* include:

Global or billing admins: Admins can use the same self-service purchase controls to disable self-service trials while making use of subscription management capabilities to oversee and manage trial licenses on the License page in the Billing section of Microsoft 365 admin center. If admins disabled the self-service purchase functionality for Project and Visio in the past, self-service trials sign up for individuals or departments automatically will allow users to request licenses directly from you.
What you need to do to prepare:
Review your current self-service purchase configuration and ensure it is set appropriately for the experience appropriate for your organization.
