Maintain an agent register
IT and governance teams keep a live register of every shared agent, its owner, source material, permissions, connectors, review date and retirement status.

Licence dependency
Advanced & governed stage — Agent 365 is licensed per user, standalone or through Microsoft 365 E7. Agents themselves do not require an Agent 365 licence.
Credit dependency
No Copilot Credits are consumed simply for maintaining the Agent 365 governance/control-plane capability; Agents being governed may have their own licence or consumption costs.
UK availability

Notes
Agent 365 is a governance/control-plane capability rather than an Agent builder. Current UK public list price is £11.50 user/month paid yearly, and Agent 365 is also included in Microsoft 365 E7. Licensing is per user, not per Agent.
Watch-outs for Advanced: govern & scale
- Keep detailed governance here rather than repeating it on every beginner capability.
- Track ownership, access, cost, lifecycle and exceptions once services are shared or business-critical.
- AI Redlines remain separate from normal governance and should be treated as hard boundaries.
