Creating Add-on Types

In the application, an add-on type represents an add-on recurring license. For your application instance, for every add-on recurring license that you are going to provide, you must create a separate add-on type.

Important: You must create only one add-on type per add-on recurring license per application instance.

When creating license and add-on types for recurring licenses and add-on recurring licenses, take into account the parent-child relations of these recurring licenses and add-on recurring licenses: an add-on recurring license has parent recurring licenses, which, in turn, may have their own parent recurring licenses, and so on, up to top-level recurring licenses. A customer tenant can be subscribed to an add-on recurring license only if this customer tenant has subscriptions to all necessary ancestor recurring licenses of this add-on recurring license, starting from a parent recurring license and ending with a top-level recurring license. If you need to provide your customers with an add-on recurring license, you must create not only an add-on type for this add-on recurring license, but also license and add-on types for all necessary ancestor recurring licenses.

To create an add-on type for an add-on recurring license, perform the following actions:

1. In the Provider Control Panel, go to Services > Applications and select the APS Instances tab.
2. Select the required Microsoft 365 application instance.
3. Select the Add-on Types tab.
4. Click New Add-on Type.

5. Specify the following parameters:

   • Add-on Name: The name of this add-on type. We recommend that you use add-on recurring license names from your product catalog.
   • Offer ID: The offer identifier of this add-on recurring license. You must use offer GUIDs from your product catalog.
   • Provisioning ID: The provisioning identifier of this add-on recurring license. You must use provisioning identifiers from your product catalog.

   • Can be assigned to users: This defines whether this add-on recurring license can be assigned to users (Yes or No). See your product catalog for details.

     Note: If you see "Priced per gigabyte" in the description of an add-on recurring license, this means this add-on recurring license cannot be assigned to users.

   • Description: The description of this add-on type.
   • Product ID: The product identifier of this add-on recurring license. Leave the default value. The parameter will be automatically set after you create this add-on type.

   Using the Add to Parents and Remove from Parents buttons, specify the list of possible parent recurring license of this add-on recurring license. See your product catalog to obtain possible parent recurring licenses for add-on recurring licenses.

   Note: We recommend that you specify this parameter after you create license and add-on types for all recurring licenses and add-on recurring licenses that you need.

6. Click Add.
