With Sync 365 you have a range of options to generate the quantity of what you need to bill.

Custom License Ideas

  • Bill your managed users by one of the following:
    • Azure AD Licensed users
    • A group in Azure AD
    • Copying a Microsoft 365 License
  • Bill your user Mailbox Microsoft 365 Backups (Skykick, Backupify, Veeam Office 365 Backup, Cove Data Protection, Dropsuite) by:
    • User mailbox count
    • Licensed Azure AD users
  • Bill your email security provider by:
    • User mailbox count
  • Bill your custom bundles that get provided to managed users by:
    • Azure AD licensed users
    • User mailbox count
    • Azure AD group
  • Bill your signature management platform by (i.e. Exclaimer):
    • Azure AD group that has signatures applied


From using an AzureAD Group to bill for all your managed users, through to billing per mailbox or for all active Azure users.


  • Per Mailbox (Active user mailbox only)
  • Per Mailbox (shared mailbox only)
  • Per Mailbox (Shared and user mailboxes)
  • Linked to an Office 365 license count
    • You can select single or combine multiple licenses into the custom license
  • Based on the users in Office 365/Azure AD (additionally filtering by licensed and by the domain name in their UPN)
  • Based on a group in Azure AD
    • This will count users and devices
    • This will include nested groups
    • Microsoft will return all users in the group regardless of if they are licensed or active
