A charitable organization with 50 employees wants to use Microsoft 365 for email and collaboration but has a very limited budget. What should they do first to obtain licenses at a reduced cost?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Purchase Microsoft 365 Business Basic licenses

Business Basic is a paid plan without nonprofit discounts; they would pay full price.

B

Best answer

Apply for Microsoft 365 Nonprofit eligibility

Correct. This is the necessary first step to qualify for donated or discounted plans.

C

Distractor review

Use the free web versions of Office apps

Free versions do not include business email or collaboration features; they need more than that.

D

Distractor review

Purchase Microsoft 365 E3 licenses

E3 is an enterprise plan with high cost, not suitable for a nonprofit with limited budget.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
  • PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
  • Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
  • NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

  • Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
  • Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
  • Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this MS-900 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Apply for Microsoft 365 Nonprofit eligibility — Microsoft offers discounted and donated Microsoft 365 plans for eligible nonprofit organizations. The first step is to apply for nonprofit eligibility through the Microsoft nonprofit portal. Once approved, the organization can purchase Microsoft 365 Nonprofit plans at a significantly reduced cost or even receive donations. Simply purchasing Business Basic or other plans without nonprofit status would not provide the discount.
