Asked by:
Determine who is using Outlook Customer Manager ?

Question
-
We've been advised of the upcoming retirement.
We have some users on perpetual Office software suites and some users in Office 365.
Is this available to both or it's strictly an Office 365 feature?
Is there a way to tell in the MS 365 admin consoles who is using it?
Or any ideas of what to check using a batch script ?

Hi OttIT,
Thanks for your reply.
Just as I said, here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client so I can't give you an accurate answer here.
It is suggested to go to the dedicated Answers community for Office 365 for admins for more information.
Thanks for your understanding and support.

You are confusing me because I *AM* talking about the desktop client and not the webmail nor mobile apps.
I have some users with MS365 subs - they still get the DESKTOP versions of the Office apps, in this case Outlook 2016. Other users have the DESKTOP apps with perpetual license (retail box or key code).
To rephrase my previous question of Feb 26, are you trying to say that the Outlook CRM is only available to users licensed via MS365 ?
