Message Center Major Change Update Notification

Microsoft sent out notification of another change in their Office 365 licensing that will be starting Nov 22, 2019. It involves Microsoft Teams Licensing and states:

To align Microsoft Teams with other workloads, we will be retiring the ability to disable Microsoft Teams for all users of a particular license category.

Note: Edu Faculty and Edu Student license categories are excluded from this change.

We'll be gradually rolling this out to customers starting November 22, 2019, and the roll out will be completed by the mid-December.

[How does this impact me?]

Users who were previously disabled for Teams via this option will now become enabled for Teams. Admins who wish to continue to disable these users will have to do so via the “Manage Product Licenses” option in the Office 365 Admin Portal Active Users page.

I normally jump to the How Does this impact me? section to see what we need to do. I don't currently know of any of you that this will cause a problem for but if it does let us know and we can address it.
