Manage License Count for Office365 subscriptions
You can manage your 365Simple subscriptions and make adjustments to your add-ons using Subscription Manager.
Navigating to Subscription Manager
On the dashboard, click Manage in the navigation menu and choose Subscription Manager.
Select Your Tenant
On the Subscription Updates tab, select the tenant you wish to work with under the Select Cloud Account heading.
If you only have one tenant, it will be selected automatically.
View Your Tenant Summary
Directly below the Selected Cloud Account, the tenant summary information is visible. This is broken into three sections:
Microsoft Details: The tenant ID and primary tenant domain are displayed
Contract Details: The contract number, contract start date and your support level are displayed.
Links: Links to Consumption Analytics (for this tenant), your 365Simple contract, and the Microsoft Office 365 Portal are displayed.
Update Your Subscriptions
Subscription Manager supports storing several changes and applying them all together as a single order.
As you adjust subscriptions and add-ons in Subscription Manager, your changes are stored as a “draft”. A “draft” represents a set of changes to one or more subscriptions or add-ons in your tenant.
Once you are happy with your changes, you can then apply them immediately, or send them for approval by another user in your organization.

Send for Approval: If you have been granted the “Send for Approval” permission, you can select another user in your organization who has the “Apply Now” permission to apply your changes for you

If you have the Apply Now permission and you have made changes to your subscriptions and/or add-ons, then the Apply Now button at the bottom of the screen will be enabled.
Click Apply Now to apply your changes.
When you click Apply Now, a progress bar will be displayed above the grid showing the progress of the operation. Once it is complete, you will be able to assign those new licenses to users in the Office 365 admin portal.
Important: While your changes are being applied, you will not be able to make further changes to your subscriptions. Please wait until the process is complete before continuing to make new changes.
