Creating 'Office 365 Add-on Recurring License' Resource Types

In the application, Office 365 Add-on Recurring License resource types represent add-on recurring licenses and are created based on add-on types (see Creating Add-on Types for details). For your Office 365 application instance, for every add-on recurring license that you are going to provide, you must create an Office 365 Add-on Recurring License resource type.

Important: You must create only one Office 365 Add-on Recurring License resource type per add-on type per application instance.

To create an Office 365 Add-on Recurring License resource type, perform the following actions:

  1. In the Provider Control Panel, go to Services > Applications and select the APS Connectors tab.
  2. In the list of applications, select the Office 365 application.
  3. Select the Resource Types tab.
  4. Click Create.
  5. In the list of resource classes, select the Application Service Reference resource class.
  6. Specify the following parameters:

    • Name: The name of this resource type.
    • Description: (Optional) The description of this resource type.

    Click Next.

  7. In the list of APS types, select the Add-on APS type.
  8. In the list of instances, select the required add-on type instance.
  9. Check these resource type parameters carefully and click Finish.

For example, create the following Office 365 Add-on Recurring License resource types:

  • Office 365 Extra File Storage (1 GB)

    • Add-on type instance: Office 365 Extra File Storage
  • Exchange Online Archiving for Exchange Online

    • Add-on type instance: Exchange Online Archiving for Exchange Online
  • Exchange Online Advanced Threat Protection

    • Add-on type instance: Exchange Online Advanced Threat Protection
