Azure Advanced Threat Protection Licensing for who
Thanks for answering
You need to license each user account for real people you have. in your example 4000 employees would mean 4000 licenses.
can you please provide a link to the standalone license? I cant find anywhere in internet
it is mentioned here. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-advanced-threat-protection/atp-technical-faq#where-can-i-get-a-license-for-azure-advanced-threat-protection-atp
you likely need to work with your microsoft seller / re-seller.

Hi apologies for the necro but I'd like to clarify this point.
If the AD has 20000 user objects (some admin accounts, some generic accounts, some service accounts) but only 11000 actual users, do we have to licence every user account in AD (both admin and user but not service accounts), or only the 11000 user accounts pertaining to real people?
i.e. some users have two accounts due to admin privileges, the assumption is we must licence both accounts as it is accounts that we are protecting?
I would check with your seller/licensing expert. I dont know the ruling on 2 accounts when its the same human user.
@ OK thank you, we will check. But generally speaking, if the accounts don't belong to a human, then there's no licence needed. i.e. if the accounts relate to mailboxes of people who have left the org but the accounts have not been disabled for some reason, then they don't need to be licensed?
That's how I interpret your earlier statement, if not attributed to a human then no licence needed.
Many thanks.
