This is great info and I hav foe confirmed that the Self-Service trial for Teams Premium is enabled in my tenant. I am not able to find in the Teams (Classic) client where the user can request the license. Any pointer to the right documentation for this step is appreciated.

In reply to Jens Kuenzler. Thanks for tracking down the fault in V1.9. I ran into the issue of improper data being returned and reverted to version 1.8, which worked. I'm afraid that my level of interest in the MsCommerce module is such that I don't wish to spend any time tracking down bugs that Microsoft should have fixed before shipping the module.

Thanks Tony. Great stuff as usual.

Speaking of the MSCommerce module… have you updated to the latest version (1.9)? I’m not sure what that team is up to, but it seems to have gone in the wrong direction. It doesn’t appear to be returning proper PowerShell objects these days (see below).

Get-MSCommerceProductPolicies -PolicyId AllowSelfServicePurchase | Sort-Object ProductName

out-lineoutput : The object of type “Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.FormatEntryData” is not valid or not in the correct sequence. This is likely caused by a user-specified “format-*”
command which is conflicting with the default formatting.

Hi Tony, we trapped into the same issue using the V1.9 version of MScommerce. If you look at MSCommerce.psm1 in line 253 and 317, there is a “Format-Table” command at the end of the line: “New-Object PSObject -Property $properties | Format-Table”. Thats the reason why the output is not pipeable. (when I remove both pipes, it worked fine – just to test it, for sure). Regards, Jens
