The Microsoft EA online services catalog is the contractual list of cloud SKUs available to an EA buyer through the Enterprise Enrollment. The catalog has grown materially in 2026, with E7 / Frontier Suite, Agent 365, Copilot Studio four-mechanism, GitHub Copilot Enterprise, Dragon Copilot, Security Copilot SCU, Entra Suite, and a wave of vertical Copilot SKUs all joining the EA-eligible list. The catalog is structured into nine functional families: M365 enterprise suites, Office 365 enterprise suites, Frontline F-SKUs, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Copilot & Agent products, Security & Compliance services, Developer & DevOps services, and Azure-side platform commitments. This guide walks the 2026 catalog by family with negotiation implications for each.
The Microsoft EA online services catalog in 2026 is the broadest it has ever been and, structurally, the most consequential to map out at signature. The catalog defines which SKUs are EA-eligible (as enterprise commits, additional products, or step-ups), which SKUs are available only through CSP NCE or standalone Microsoft Online Subscription Agreements, and which SKUs have specific EA contractual requirements (qualifying base SKUs, SCU allocation, MACC-tied consumption). Buyers in a 2026 renewal who do not map the catalog explicitly into the EA proposal documents almost always leave value on the table — either by over-committing to SKUs that should have stayed in CSP NCE, or by missing EA-eligible SKUs they could have negotiated in-scope.
M365 enterprise suites in the EA online services catalog
The M365 enterprise family is the qualifying base for most commercial EAs. The 2026 catalog within this family:
- M365 E3. The volume backbone for most EAs in 2026. Includes Office 365 E3 + Windows 11 Enterprise + EMS E3 + (after July 2026) Defender for Office 365 P1. Qualifying base for most step-ups.
- M365 E5. The strategic upgrade SKU. Includes E3 + Defender for Office 365 P2 + Defender for Endpoint P2 + Defender for Identity + Defender for Cloud Apps + Purview E5 + Audit + Compliance Manager + (after 2026 Q3 expansion) Intune Suite + AAD/Entra ID P2. The "everything for the strategic user" SKU.
- M365 E7 / Frontier Suite. The 2026-introduced premium SKU. Includes E5 + Copilot for M365 + Security Copilot SCU allocation + additional Purview / Defender frontier components. The catalog's most-negotiated 2026 entry. E7 / Frontier Suite pillar walks the mechanics.
- M365 Apps for Enterprise. The Office-applications-only SKU for buyers who do not need the full E3 bundle.
- M365 Business Premium. Sub-300-seat SKU; usually not in EA scope but available on certain enrollment types.
Office 365 enterprise suites
The Office 365 family is the EA online services catalog entry for buyers who do not need the full M365 bundle (Windows 11 Enterprise, EMS, Defender). Smaller in the 2026 catalog than it was three years ago but still relevant for buyers with non-Microsoft endpoint management or non-Microsoft mobility management.
- Office 365 E1. Web/mobile Office apps + Exchange + Teams + SharePoint. No desktop Office apps.
- Office 365 E3. E1 + desktop Office apps + Purview light + audit / archive baseline.
- Office 365 E5. E3 + Defender for Office 365 P2 + Teams Phone + advanced eDiscovery + Power BI Pro. The E5 audio-conferencing entitlement (legacy) is consolidated into Teams Phone.
Frontline F-SKUs in the catalog
The Frontline family is for kiosk, deskless, shared-device, and operational-tier users. The 2026 catalog:
- F1. Lightweight email + Teams + Office web only. Often the catalog entry for shop-floor and warehouse users.
- F3. F1 + web/mobile Office apps + light Defender / EMS. The dominant Frontline SKU in 2026 retail and manufacturing buyers.
- F5 Security & Compliance. F3 + Defender / Purview Frontline components for security-regulated Frontline populations.
Frontline SKUs do not satisfy the EA-eligibility threshold on their own — a buyer must have a qualifying E3/E5/E7 base. Once the base is in place, Frontline SKUs are typically additional products inside the EA.
Dynamics 365 SKUs in the EA catalog
The D365 family is one of the most-rationalised areas in 2026 renewals. The catalog by line of business:
- D365 Sales. Sales Professional and Sales Enterprise. Sales Premium for AI-enhanced selling motions.
- D365 Customer Service. Professional and Enterprise. Customer Service Premium with Copilot for Service.
- D365 Field Service. Dispatch, on-site management, mobile.
- D365 Finance. ERP financials with Project Operations integration.
- D365 Supply Chain Management. Inventory, procurement, manufacturing.
- D365 Commerce. Unified retail commerce.
- D365 Project Operations. Project-based services automation.
- D365 Human Resources. HR core, talent, workforce.
- D365 Business Central. SMB ERP (Essentials / Premium); usually not in enterprise EA scope.
- D365 Customer Insights. CDP + journey orchestration.
- D365 Guides / Remote Assist. Mixed-reality vertical SKUs.
- Copilot for Sales. Add-on to Sales Enterprise/Premium.
- Copilot for Service. Add-on to Customer Service Enterprise/Premium.
Power Platform in the EA catalog
Power Platform has the most contractually complex catalog structure of any family in 2026. The catalog:
- Power BI Pro. Per-user self-service BI; included in O365 E5 / M365 E5.
- Power BI Premium per user. Advanced workloads at per-user pricing.
- Power BI Premium capacity (P-SKUs, F-SKUs). Capacity-based BI; the F-SKU migration is the 2026 inflection point. The Fabric P→F migration playbook walks the mechanics.
- Power Apps per-app plan. Per-app, per-user licensing.
- Power Apps per-user plan. All-apps per-user licensing.
- Power Automate per-user plan. Per-user automation; required for attended-only flows.
- Power Automate per-flow plan. Per-flow capacity for unattended automation.
- Power Automate process plan. Unattended RPA capacity.
- Power Pages. External-facing low-code portal capacity.
- Copilot Studio. Four-mechanism licensing (CCCU, ACU, message pack, included allowance). The Copilot Studio 2026 pillar walks the mechanisms.
Copilot & Agent products in the catalog
The Copilot and Agent family is the most-expanded 2026 catalog entry. The list:
- Copilot for M365. Per-user productivity Copilot; the flagship product.
- Copilot for Sales. D365 Sales add-on.
- Copilot for Service. D365 Customer Service add-on.
- Copilot for Finance. D365 Finance add-on.
- Copilot Studio. The custom-Copilot platform with four-mechanism licensing.
- Agent 365. The 2026-introduced agent-management platform. The Agent 365 guide walks the structure.
- Security Copilot. SCU-allocated security-operations Copilot.
- Dragon Copilot. Healthcare-specific Copilot with Physician Flex consumption.
- GitHub Copilot Business. Per-seat developer Copilot for organisations.
- GitHub Copilot Enterprise. Premium GitHub Copilot with model multipliers and premium-request billing.
Security & Compliance services
The Security & Compliance family is structurally complex because many SKUs ship both as standalone catalog entries and as components of E5 / E7. The 2026 catalog:
- Defender for Office 365 P1 / P2. Email-and-collaboration protection. P1 bundles into E3 from July 2026 (the P1 bundling change).
- Defender for Endpoint P1 / P2. Endpoint detection and response.
- Defender for Identity. On-prem identity protection.
- Defender for Cloud Apps. SaaS application security.
- Defender for IoT. Operational technology and IoT device protection.
- Defender for Cloud. Multi-cloud workload protection.
- Sentinel. Cloud-native SIEM / SOAR.
- Entra Suite. Entra ID Governance + External ID + Internet Access + Private Access + Workload Identities.
- Entra ID Governance standalone. Identity governance and lifecycle management.
- External ID. Customer-identity management.
- Workload Identities. Service-to-service identity governance.
- Purview standalone modules. Records management, data lifecycle, eDiscovery Premium, audit Premium, Insider Risk, Communication Compliance, Information Protection Premium.
- Compliance Manager. Compliance posture and assessment.
- Intune Suite. EPM, EAM, Cloud PKI, Remote Help, Endpoint Privilege Management. Consolidated into E5 in 2026.
Developer & DevOps services
- Visual Studio Professional / Enterprise subscription. Annual subscription with cloud-services entitlement.
- GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Per-seat GitHub for organisations.
- GitHub Advanced Security. Code, secret, supply-chain scanning.
- Azure DevOps Services. Boards / Repos / Pipelines / Test Plans / Artifacts.
Azure-side platform commitments in the catalog
Azure is in the EA online services catalog as a consumption commitment rather than a per-seat SKU. The 2026 entries:
- Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC). The dominant 2026 structure; standalone MACC alongside the EA. The Azure-in-EA guide walks the structure.
- Legacy in-EA Azure Monetary Commitment. Phasing out for new enrollments.
- SCE Azure group. Legacy, niche; Microsoft no longer steers new enrollments here.
- Azure Reserved Instances. Per-resource compute commitments inside the MACC envelope.
- Azure Savings Plans for Compute. Flex commitments inside the MACC envelope.

Catalog availability vs CSP-only SKUs
Not every Microsoft cloud SKU is in the EA online services catalog. Several SKUs are CSP-only (available through partner-managed NCE only) or MOSA-only (direct online subscription only). The catalog distinction matters because a buyer trying to add a CSP-only SKU to an EA discovers the SKU is unavailable at signature; the right structure is to keep that SKU in CSP alongside the EA, not to force it into the EA documentation.
Common 2026 CSP-only or hybrid-only SKUs:
- Microsoft 365 Business Basic / Standard / Premium for sub-300-seat populations
- Certain Power Pages page-view capacity SKUs at small scale
- Some Marketplace third-party SKUs at small quantity
- Microsoft Industry Cloud add-ons for industries where the buyer has not signed the industry-cloud master agreement
The EA online services catalog evolves continuously. Microsoft publishes Product Terms monthly with catalog updates. The buyer-side discipline is to refresh the catalog mapping at the T-9 phase of every EA renewal — relying on a 12-month-old catalog snapshot at the T-3 commercial close routinely misses SKUs that joined the catalog mid-cycle.

Where to take catalog mapping next
Catalog mapping is one component of the broader EA scope-and-structure pass. The companion pages: EA additional products walks the required-vs-optional structure; EA online services included covers the included-vs-add-on map within the M365 family; the M365 licensing pillar and the Copilot portfolio overview pillar cover the deeper SKU mechanics. For buyers approaching a renewal where the catalog mapping is not yet done, the free EA assessment is the entry point.
