The List License Subscriptions tool allows Neo Agent to query your marketplace provider for the subscriptions behind a specific Microsoft license, showing subscription IDs, billing terms, commitment terms, and current seat counts.
What It Does
When enabled, the agent can:
- List all provider subscriptions for a given license SKU
- Show the marketplace subscription ID for each subscription
- Show the billing term (payment frequency — e.g., Monthly, Annual) for each subscription
- Show the commitment term (contract duration — e.g., Monthly, 1-Year) for each subscription
- Show the current seat count per subscription
- Identify which marketplace provider was queried (Pax8, D&H, or Microsoft Partner Center)
When It’s Used
This tool is called by the agent before purchasing or cancelling license seats, so it can get the marketplace subscription ID for the target subscription. It’s auto-enabled as a dependency of Purchase Microsoft License and Cancel Microsoft License.
You don’t need to enable this tool manually — it’s automatically enabled when you enable Purchase or Cancel Microsoft License.
Billing Term vs Commitment Term
Microsoft’s New Commerce Experience (NCE) has multiple subscription types for each license. Two subscriptions can share the same billing term but differ in commitment:
| NCE Type | Billing Term | Commitment Term | Price |
|---|
| Monthly-Monthly | Monthly | Monthly | Highest |
| Monthly-Annual | Monthly | 1-Year | ~20% cheaper |
| Annual-Annual | Annual | 1-Year | Cheapest |
Example Output
For a company with both month-to-month and annual-commitment subscriptions for Microsoft 365 Business Basic:
| Subscription ID | Billing Term | Commitment Term | Seats |
|---|
| abc-123-def | Monthly | 1-Year | 80 |
| ghi-456-jkl | Monthly | Monthly | 20 |
