How to install Microsoft Defender for Identity
How to install direction's show Microsoft 365 Defender portal in the Settings -> Identities -> Sensors page. but there is no Identities page under settings?
I think there's a mix-up here.
If you are getting the ITDR deployment tile in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal suggesting that you should deploy MDI, then you don't need to buy any new licenses. You already have them.
If you don't see the Identities section under settings, it means that your account doesn't have the minimum permissions (Security Admin) to start the onboarding.
Linas Snarskis is your users licensed with MDI license plan?

- Correct , but there you can activate a trial at first to test the feature before you buy the licenses for your users
