📣Important Announcements
Please take note of the following long-term and ongoing announcements below:
☝Microsoft to enforce PSTN License Checks by End of September
INC PSTN License Check Enforcement Notice
☝Ahead Notice: Microsoft enforcing PSTN license checks for bot calls
Amendment 07.05.2025: Microsoft has moved the date from June to end of September.
From: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/enforcement-of-license-checks-for-pstn-bot-calls/
Topic: Microsoft announced changes to PSTN license checks for bots. From the Blog Post of Microsoft:
As part of Microsoft’s feature parity with Teams Phone extensibility, we’re announcing the enforcement of Phone System license checks for Bot-initiated transfers to Teams users. This current gap in our systems will be addressed in September 2025.
Microsoft Teams requires that Teams users behind applications such as queue applications require a phone system license and the user to be Enterprise Voice Enabled. We’re aligning the Microsoft Graph API with that requirement.
What is the change?
Effective September 30, 2025:
- Teams users will still have the option to transfer calls to other Teams users manually even if they don’t have a PSTN phone system license.
- Bot-initiated transfers and add participant requests to non-phone system enabled users will be blocked.
🤔How does this affect Nimbus? Nimbus uses bots to initiate and monitor (safe) transfers and create call conferences. If Microsoft decides to pull through with this change by September 30, 2025, all Nimbus transfers and consultation calls will be blocked and fail without any possible workaround or error handling.
✅Required Action for Tenant Administrators / Service Owners: This change mandates the use of a PSTN License on all Users you either transfer to or start a consultation call with.
✅Replacement of Assistant Installers (only on Certificate Error)
✅ Admin action required: Assistant installer certificate renewal
Assistant Installation - Assistant Setups (Nimbus Assistant Client Setup.msi) got recertified on12.05.2025 as previous certificates have expired. Due to this, any older installers will no longer work since end of May.
- If you intend to (re)install Assistant in the near future, please request the newest installers via Customer Success.
- Already existing installations of Nimbus Assistant will continue to work unaffected.
End of announcements. Regular release notes continue below.
