MIP Scanner - Default Labels

Hi,    Can anyone confirm whether E3 licensing allows on-premise MIP scanners to apply a default label to file share documents, or does this require E5 licensing?   Microsoft's licensing document...

AIP Scanner is an E5 feature.
The E5 License is required for the synced account from on-premise that is running the AIP Scanner as a service.

Actually, I've found on this Microsoft page - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/azure-information-protection#:~:text=Azure%20Information%20Protection%20scanner%20to%20apply%20a%20label%20to%20all%20files%20in%20an%20on%2Dpremises%20file%20server%20or%20repository  it states that the Azure Information Protection Premium P1 plan (E3) supports "Azure Information Protection scanner to apply a label to all files in an on-premises file server or repository", which suggests that E3 licenses do allow for default labels to be applied to on-premise scanned file shares (different to auto-labelling based on content inspection).

 

However, the https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2139145 it references does not repeat this claim, so it's definitely not very clear. Can anyone else confirm if default labelling via the MIP scanner (AIP client) can be done with E3 licensing or needs E5?

 

Thanks in advance.
