    Note: We order new licenses from SACA Technologies/IronOrbit. If no licenses are available open a ticket with SACA via email at support@ironorbit.com and ask them to add additional 'Microsoft 365 Business Premium' licenses to our tenant. There is a cost per license so only have them add as many as you need, no extras!
