Introduction

This guide will outline how to start your Microsoft 365 subscription via Cloudist.

Procedure

  1. Log in to portal.cloudist.se
  2. Select ‘M365 Licenses’


  3. First you need to approve Cloudist AB and Arrow to become your reseller. Do that by selecting "Authorize Cloudist"



  4. If a customer is new to M365 choose Create New Tenant and type in a domain you want to have ("yourdomain.onmicrosoft.com". Once that is submitted, click on "Submit". For more info, please read: How to enable M365 subscription for the first time



  5. If a customer has an existing M365 account/tenant, please choose Existing Tenant and important type in customers default domain from their M365 Tenant and select "Submit". If you are not sure which domain is default please log on to customers M365 Admin portal

  7. Once above is completed, checkmark the box and select "Submit". The provisioning of the service may take a couple of minutes so please reload the page after a while to proceed. You can leave the page and come back, the provisioning of the service is done in the background.


  8. Now it´s time to search and select the licenses you want to buy. Select "Order Licenses" and search for the license you want and chose the quantity, term and billing period.

    Please note that if you choose 1 year term you cannot decrease the number of licenses after 96h. 


Once you're done click "Order licenses", and wait up to 5 min for the licenses to be visible in the portal, select refresh after a while. Note that even though they are not visible in Cloudist portal, they could be visible in the M365 portal faster.
