About
In November 2024, Google for Education announced some significant licensing changes for Workspace for Education Fundamentals. While these changes are specific to how Fundamentals licenses are managed, they will affect all editions of Workspace for Education. In this webinar, we will detail the upcoming changes, how they will affect education organizations, and what admins need to do to prepare for and adjust to the new license management processes Google will be rolling out. Additionally, we will be discussing the Google Workspace for Education paid edition SKUs, pricing, and changes that will impact customers beyond Fundamentals licensing.
