New dedicated License Requests page in Microsoft 365 Admin Center

Microsoft 365 Admin Center will add a new License Requests page by late May to early June 2026, enabling admins to centrally view and manage Microsoft 365 Copilot license requests. The feature is on by default, requires no action, and does not affect existing permissions or custom workflows.

[Introduction]

We are introducing a new dedicated License Requests page in the Microsoft 365 admin center to help administrators more easily discover, review, and manage Microsoft 365 Copilot license requests submitted by users. This update improves visibility and discoverability of license requests.

[When this will happen:]

• Targeted Release (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in mid-May 2026 and expect to complete by late May 2026.
• General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in late May 2026 and expect to complete by early June 2026.

[How this affects your organization:]

Who is affected:

• Global admins
• License admins
• User admins
• Organizations using Microsoft 365 Copilot license request workflows via Microsoft 365 Admin Center

What will happen:

• A new page will be available at: Microsoft 365 admin center > Billing > License requests.



• Admins can also find the page via global search using “License requests.”
• Admins will be able to:
  • View submitted Microsoft 365 Copilot license requests.
  • Review and manage requests in a centralized location.
• The feature will be on by default after rollout.
