License requirement for EOP Quarantine for On-Prem users in Hybrid
You can use EOP standalone licenses, no need to assign E3 if they just need hygiene solution.

In 1 Month all of the users will be in Office 365 with E3 licenses. We would like to just switch them to E3 now and get EOP features while they are waiting to be migrated.
I know back with DirSync you should never assign a license until after the batch completes. But i have read in some random places (i am not sure i trust the source) that with Azure AD Connect you can assign licenses anytime now.
Well you can just assign them the E3 license with the ExO service disabled then. You are paying for the full price of E3 regardless of which services are enabled for the user, so I don't believe you will be in any license violation. Best check with your TAM or local MS folks though, none of us here are authorized to quote licensing terms on behalf of Microsoft.
You can also try calling EOP support directly to get clarification from them, the numbers are here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj723132(v=exchg.150).aspx
- That makes sense. So I have 2 questions now.
What license feature will enable quarantine feature.
If we enable the exo license before a user is migrated, will it break mail routing or the migration process?
