License Details

This section describes each type of license, as well as the migrations each one applies to.

User Migration Bundle MigrationWiz Licenses

User Migration Bundle licenses provide unlimited data for a single individual user account. 

This license migrates:

  • Mailboxes
  • Documents
  • Personal archives (Exchange/Exchange Online as a source only)

Additional functionalities:

  • Supports configuring Outlook profiles after migration
  • Supports Microsoft 365 Tenant to Tenant Coexistence

This license type must be applied to a single user and will migrate their accounts and data. The license will be consumed at the rate of one license per user being migrated and cannot be applied to multiple users.

Important

The User Migration Bundle must be manually applied to the users in your project before it can be used to perform a migration. All other migration licenses are applied automatically when submitting a migration job. For steps on how to apply a User Migration Bundle license see Applying User Migration Bundle Licenses.

The User Migration Bundle license can be used for the following migration scenarios:

Office365 as the source

Exchange On-Premise/Hosted Exchange as the source

Mailbox Migration MigrationWiz Licenses

Mailbox Migration licenses are best used for mailboxes under 50 GB with no documents or archive mailboxes to migrate; each license will migrate up to 50GB. A single license gives you the ability to migrate a single mailbox to a single Destination. A mailbox license will grant up to 10 passes per mailbox.

This license does not support the use of downloaded BitTitan software such as DeploymentPro. 

Here are some examples to help explain how mailbox licenses work:

  • You cannot migrate ten 5GB mailboxes using a single license.
  • You cannot use each pass to migrate a different mailbox.
  • Each pass must be performed against the same mailbox.
  • When the license limit is reached, the migration will stop. To continue, you must purchase additional licenses. Then you can resubmit the item for migration. The migration will begin where it left off.

If only migrating mailboxes (not including archive mailboxes), you can use the Mailbox Migration MigrationWiz licenses for the following scenarios:

Office365 as the source

Exchange On-Premise/Hosted Exchange as the source

Google Workspace as the source

Other mailbox migrations types

Shared Document MigrationWiz License

The Shared Document license applies to any document migration projects involving SharePoint Online or Google Shared Drives (with the exception of SharePoint Online to Google Drive, which utilizes the User Migration Bundle). This license type migrates up to 50GB, or 100GB of data depending on the license size purchased. 

This license does not support the use of downloaded BitTitan software such as DeploymentPro.

Use this license for these migrations:

Tenant Migration Bundle MigrationWiz License

The Tenant Migration Bundle is a bundled license specifically for a Microsoft 365 Tenant-to-Tenant migration. Each bundle includes:

  • One User Migration Bundle (UMB) license
  • One Flex Collaboration License (FCL) for Teams (Does not include Teams Private Chat) or SharePoint Online project.

Important

Each UMB license migrates an unlimited amount of mailbox and OneDrive data for a single user. The FCL is licensed on a per-Team or per-SharePoint library basis, and each license can migrate up to 100GB of Teams or SharePoint data.

This license bundle is intended to be used for moving or consolidating Microsoft 365 tenants, as it will migrate most Microsoft 365 workloads. This includes Microsoft Teams to Teams or Microsoft SharePoint Online to SharePoint Online migrations.

This license is sold directly through our Sales teams, as well as through our global distribution partners. Please contact them for pricing and deployment.

User Migration Bundle: 1 license per user.

Flex Collaboration License: 1 license per team or per document library. If there are not enough Flex Collaboration licenses across the purchased bundles, additional Collaboration or Shared Document licenses will be needed. Collaboration and Shared Document licenses may be purchased through the BitTitan storefront.

Tip

Each FCL may be used for SharePoint Online or Teams data.

This license does not migrate Public Folders.

The Tenant Migration Bundle can be used for the following scenarios:

Public Folder MigrationWiz License

The Public Folder license is for use only in Exchange/Exchange Online public folder migrations. Each license will migrate up to 10GB of data per single Exchange source environment. Public folder migration licenses should be purchased based off the estimated total amount of data to be migrated for the project.

This license does not support the use of downloaded BitTitan software such as DeploymentPro. 

To estimate the number of Public Folder licenses needed, see Estimating the Required Public Folder Migration License Count.

Use this license for these migrations:

Collaboration (per Team) Migration MigrationWiz License

The Collaboration (per Team) Migration license is used only for Microsoft Teams migrations and will migrate up to 100GB. This license type will apply automatically if the correct number of licenses exists in your account. 

If more than 100GB of data per team is being migrated, purchase enough licenses to cover the total amount of data being migrated. For example, if you have six teams and two of them have 200GB of data, you will need to purchase 8 licenses. 

This license does not support the use of downloaded BitTitan software such as DeploymentPro.
