I would love if this came to Education licensing. It would be a HUGE boon for us because:

  • We maintain large amounts of academic software packages (close to 300 in my org) that EAM would help cut down on.
  • Requests for VR headsets in classrooms are increasing. These can be managed in Intune but are considered "speciality devices" that require a license.
  • We have large fleets of devices scattered across campuses where advanced analytics could help measure device health.
  • Have many users that need local admin privileges to do research and teach. EPM could help with that.

Education orgs are extremely budget-sensitive these days because of what's happening at federal and state levels. It would be amazing if Microsoft showed their support by investing in education and giving us better tools to support our learners. They are the future of this world.
