Azure Active Directory Premium P1 plan
Hello, When i only need to use the extra Dynamic groups or/and Conditional Access features in Azure AD i need at least Azure AD Premium P1 plan. Therefor i need to pay for each user in my tenant ...

So 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?
Do I only pay for the activated users or do I pay for the entire Azure AD tenant with all my users in it?

You 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)?

Although in that example, removing the service will actually affect functionality. Different teams within MS have different views on how to handle licensing requirements in code, that's just something you'll have to get used to.
