Microsoft Software License Request - Microsoft.SharePointOnline.CSOM

[kavya-selvaraj-14062]

Hello team,

I am attempting to pass internal security/compliance checks for the use of the official SharePoint CSOM NuGet package, but the official license link not available.

Package: Microsoft.SharePointOnline.CSOM
Version: 16.1.26510.12000
NuGet URL: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.SharePointOnline.CSOM/16.1.26510.12000

Our internal Identity and Security Management team requires the official "Microsoft Software License Terms" document (either .txt or .rtf) for this specific component to approve its use.

Could you please provide the official license text/RTF file for the SharePoint Client Components?

Thank you!

Hi @kavya-selvaraj-14062,
The Microsoft.SharePointOnline.CSOM package is an official Microsoft library. It does not include a standalone LICENSE.txt or .rtf file within the package; instead, it is governed by Microsoft’s standard Software License Terms.

For compliance purposes, you can refer to the following official resources:

• Microsoft Software License Terms index:
  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/intellectualproperty/mlt/default.aspx

• Microsoft APIs Terms of Use (supplementary):
  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/microsoft-apis/terms-of-use

Additionally, you can inspect the NuGet package metadata:

• Download and extract the .nupkg file
• Open the .nuspec file inside the package
• Review the element, which provides the official license reference associated with the package

For internal security/compliance reviews, referencing the Microsoft Software License Terms along with the package name and version (Microsoft.SharePointOnline.CSOM 16.1.26510.12000) is typically accepted.

If your team requires formal written confirmation beyond publicly available documentation, we recommend raising a support request through your organization’s Microsoft 365 or Azure support channel, as Microsoft support can provide official clarification.
