Microsoft does not enforce licensing requirements in code for many of the features, thus making them available even when no direct license assignments exist. This doesnt mean that you are allowed to go that route, it still counts as license violation.
- OttovwMar 09, 2021Copper ContributorSo if I understand correctly, it is my own responsibility to determine which user uses, for example, Conditional Access Policy and for this I have to activate the p1 license.
Do I only pay for the activated users or do I pay for the entire Azure AD tenant with all my users in it?- VasilMichevMar 09, 2021MVPYou pay for the number of licenses purchased, it's your responsibility to make sure this number is sufficient to cover all users taking advantage of specific feature(s).

VasilMichev Thank you for your answers. I do understand the responsibility part. But i don't understand why there is an option to update the license assignment per user and enable or disable the Azure AD Premium 1 (or 2). If what you say is true then I already payed for the number of licenses and the extra features is already enabled on the Azure AD tenant. In this case an Azure AD Premium 2 tenant.
So why is there an option to enable or disable Azure AD license plan per user(s)?
