Migration License

    EdbMails only counts source OneDrive sites that are actually considered for migration.

    For Instance:

    https://domain2.OneDrive.com
    https://domain3.OneDrive.com

    If you migrate above 3 sites to any destination server (with different domains) for any number of times (for lifetime), EdbMails only counts number of sites used as 3.
