The four ways to license Teams

Teams Essentials

Standalone Teams for small companies: meetings of up to 300 participants lasting up to 30 hours, chat, and 10 GB of cloud storage per user. No business email or Office apps.

Right when: You only need meetings and chat.

Teams in Microsoft 365 Business

Business Basic, Standard and Premium can be bought with Teams included, alongside email, OneDrive and Office.

Right when: You want Teams and business email together, up to 300 users.

Teams Enterprise

A separate Teams licence for Microsoft 365 and Office 365 E3 and E5, which new subscribers buy without Teams.

Right when: You are on, or moving to, an Enterprise plan.

Teams Premium

An add-on with intelligent meeting recaps, branded meetings and lobbies, advanced webinars and extra meeting protection.

Right when: Meetings are central to how you sell or deliver.

Rooms

Teams Rooms for meeting rooms

Meeting rooms with a Teams Rooms device need a Teams Rooms licence, not a user licence. Teams Rooms Basic covers core meetings for a small number of rooms; Teams Rooms Pro adds management and premium room features. We supply the licences alongside the rest of your Microsoft licensing.

Calling

Phone calls through Teams

Teams Phone lets staff make and receive calls on a business number inside Teams. Whether it fits your company in the UAE depends on your telecom provider and setup, so we check this with you before recommending it.

Buying

Buying Teams licences in the UAE

We work out which Teams option applies to each user, quote in AED with VAT shown separately, and supply against your LPO. Setup of Teams policies, guest access and meeting settings is included.

Quoted in AED, against your LPO

We quote per user in AED with 5% VAT shown separately, supply against your company LPO and issue a VAT invoice. No company credit card or overseas billing is needed.

Annual or monthly commitment

Annual commitment gives the best per-user rate and still lets you add users at any time. Monthly commitment costs more per user but lets you reduce seats month to month.

Setup and migration included

Tenant setup, mailbox and file migration, user onboarding and activation are included at no extra charge on Microsoft licences bought from Proto Link.

Renewals tracked for you

We track your renewal date and remind you before it, so prices, seat counts and plans can be reviewed instead of auto-renewing unchanged.
