![]() One of my favorite RMS features came in September of 2015, when Microsoft announced Document Tracking and Revocation capabilities ( here). With the rise in popularity of Office 365 (100 Million subscribers), many began to take advantage of RMS because it is included for free in the most popular business subscription (known as the “E3” license). As the product evolved over the years into what is now called Azure Information Protection, I became an even greater admirer of the product as well as the team within Microsoft responsible for its development.Ī key milestone came when RMS was ported to Azure, because it became easy to enable (with one mouse click), eliminating the effort to configure servers on-premises, and especially the underlying Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) environment that RMS required. So let me first point out that I have been a longtime fan of Microsoft’s Rights Management Services (RMS) which debuted in Windows Server 2003. But then again, do you expect a new car salesman to tell you about the limitations of the car they are trying to sell you? In general, you will not hear Microsoft tell you about product limitations. The reason why I’ve put this post up is that many SMB partners I’ve spoken to are always looking for additional clarification around what the Office 365 E3 or higher plans include versus the SMB targeted plans.Before I discuss the limitations of any product, I try my best to point out all of the things I appreciate about a product.

What’s the asterisk? The Business and Business Premium desktop applications do allow you to open rights protected content, but they don’t allow you to apply rights management to new files you are creating, or to new emails you are sending. A scenario that is being raised more often now that Microsoft is pushing it’s Enterprise Mobility Suite through the SMB channel is whether or not the version of the Office 365 desktop applications included with the Business and Business Premium plans can interoperate with Azure Rights Management Service.
