Enterprise Mobility Suite
Activation Guide

This guide will provide information on how to get started activating the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility
Suite (EMS) for customers and partners. It is not intended as an exhaustive guide, and it contains links to
additional information where appropriate to avoid duplicating existing information in this document.
The guide is intended for those tasked with activating their EMS subscriptions for their organizations.

Enterprise Mobility Suite
Microsoft’s people-centric IT vision helps organizations enable and embrace the consumerization of IT
by:






Enabling your end users to work on the device or devices they love and providing them with
consistent and secure access to corporate resources from those devices. Part of the way we do
that is by providing a hybrid identity solution, enabled by Azure Active Directory Premium.
Delivering comprehensive application and mobile device management from both your existing
on-premises infrastructure, including Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager,
Windows Server, and Active Directory, as well as cloud-based services, including Windows
Intune and Windows Azure. This helps to unify your environment. EMS provides mobile device
management, enabled by Windows Intune
Helping protect your data by protecting corporate information and managing risk. EMS provides
data protection, enabled by Azure Rights Management service

Each of these services are included in the Enteprise Mobility Suite. To learn more visit

EMS Activation Setup Steps
While EMS provides access to the separate cloud services (Azure AD Premium, Windows Intune, Azure
RMS) there is a single activation process. Once these steps are complete, additional steps unique to
each of the three services will need to be performed.

Step 1: Sign up for EMS (if you haven’t already)
The first step is to purchase or sign up for EMS, if you have not already done so. The customer’s online
service contact email address is entered during purchase. After a successful purchase:




An activation mail is sent to the customer’s address
The customer will follow instructions in the email based on whether he/she currently has a
Microsoft Online Services account
After signing-up or signing-in, the customer will receive another email that includes information
for how to start managing Azure AD Premium or Enterprise Mobility Suite licenses and features,

Steps 2 and 3 provide more detail on this process.

Step 2: Activate license plan
If this is the first time you have purchased a license plan through Microsoft’s Enterprise Volume
Licensing program, you will need to first activate your license plan before you can start assigning
licenses from within your Azure AD directory. To do this, depending on whether you have an existing
Microsoft Online Services account, you must click on either the Sign In or Sign Up link found in the
confirmation email (see example below) that you will receive after your very first license plan purchase
has been completed. On any subsequent purchase for this directory, the licenses will automatically be
activated in the same directory.

If you are an existing user, selecting the Sign In link will prompt you to sign in with your existing
administrator account. Upon confirmation of your account, you will be taken to a “Thank You” page and
told to wait for the “Welcome” mail that indicates activation success. It is important that you sign in
with the global administrator credentials from the directory where the licenses must be activated.
If you want to create a new Azure AD tenant to use with your licensing plan, select the Sign Up link,
which will take you to the following screen.

Once you are finished with either the sign-up process or the sign-in process that was initiated from the
email, you will see the following screen confirming that the license plan is being activated.

Step 3: Activate access
Once the licenses are provisioned to your directory, you will be receive a Welcome email (see example
below) that confirms you can start managing your Azure AD Premium or Enterprise Mobility Suite
licenses and features.
If you have used Microsoft Azure before, you can proceed to http://manage.windowsazure.com to
assign the new licenses (see Step 4 below for further instructions).
If you are new to Microsoft Azure, selecting the Sign In link in the email or going to the Access to Azure
Active Directory activation page will take you through a series of steps to help you access your directory
through the Azure Management Portal.

Once you have signed in successfully, you will need to complete a 2nd factor authentication screen
(example below) by providing a mobile phone number and validating it. After this you will be able to
activate your access to Azure AD by selecting Sign Up.

The activation may take a few minutes, as illustrated below, once your access is active the brown bar
will disappear and you will be able to click the Portal link in the top right corner or navigate to
http://manage.windowsazure.com to access the Azure AD management portal.

In this case your Azure access will be limited to Azure AD.

You may already have had access to Azure from prior usage. You can also upgrade your Access Azure AD
to full Azure Access by activating additional Azure subscriptions. In these cases, the Azure Management
portal will have more capabilities as in the following.

If you attempt to activate your access to Azure AD prior to receiving the Welcome email above you may
experience the following error message. Please try again in a few minutes once you have received the
email.

New administrators in your subscription can also activate their access to the Azure AD management
portal through this link.

Step 4: Assign licenses to users
Before you can start using the plan you purchased, you’ll need to manually assign licenses to user
accounts within your organization so that they can use the rich features provided with Premium. Use the
following steps to assign licenses to users so they can use AD Premium features.
To Assign licenses to users
1. Sign into the Azure Management Portal as the global administrator of the directory you wish to
customize.
2. Click on Active Directory, and then select the directory where you want to assign licenses.
3. Select the Licenses tab, select Active Directory Premium or Enterprise Mobility Suite, and then
click Assign.

4. In the dialog box, select the users you want to assign licenses to, and then click the check mark icon
to save the changes.

From the Welcome email, the administrator can access the Windows Azure, Windows Intune and Office
365 portals for Azure Active Directory Premium, Windows Intune and Azure Rights Management Service
administration through the License Portal.
Similarly, from the Welcome email, the administrator can access either the EMS License Provisioning
Portal or Windows PowerShell for EMS license management.

Summary
Organizations are struggling to meet the challenges posed by the influx of consumer-oriented
technology into the workplace, which is eroding the standards-based approach to IT, and by the growing
expectation of users to access all of their work resources from any location on any device. The
Enterprise Mobility Suite is designed to help organizations meet these challenges by providing a peoplecentric IT solution that gives users access to corporate resources from the devices of their choice, while
making it easier for IT administrators to securely manage devices, data, and applications across
platforms.
