Introduction
By default, users can obtain a Microsoft Teams Premium trial license by requesting one directly from their Teams client. This can lead to subsequent billing issues, so it is advisable to disable this option.
What does it look like ?
If a user clicks the … next to their profile icon in Teams, the Unlock Teams Premium button becomes available …
… and the trial license can be activated.
Prerequisites
Administrator role
- An account with the Global Administrator or Billing Administrator role to access the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
Step 1 : Sign in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center
Sign in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center by opening your web browser to https://admin.cloud.microsoft.
Step 2 : Disable self-service
In the left menu, click Settings, then Org Settings.
In the Services tab, click Self-service trials and purchases and disable self-service trials and purchases for the Microsoft Teams Premium license.
Let’s go further in PowerShell
Microsoft Teams Premium isn’t the only license you should disable with self-service. The following PowerShell commands will allow you to list which licenses are affected :
Install-Module -Name MSCommerce -Scope CurrentUser
Import-Module -Name MSCommerce
Connect-MSCommerce
Get-MSCommerceProductPolicies -PolicyId AllowSelfServicePurchase
The following PowerShell command will allow you to deactivate them all :
Get-MSCommerceProductPolicies -PolicyId AllowSelfServicePurchase | Where { $_.PolicyValue -eq "Enabled"} | forEach { Update-MSCommerceProductPolicy -PolicyId AllowSelfServicePurchase -ProductId $_.ProductID -Enabled $false }
Validate the result
The result is visible after a few hours ; the Unlock Teams Premium button has disappeared.
Conclusion
