    I think an Intune A Direct license is a standalone purchase of Microsoft Intune, focusing solely on mobile device and application management. It is ideal for organizations needing only Intune's capabilities without additional services. While a non-A Direct license is typically part of a larger bundle, such as Microsoft 365 (M365) or Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) suites. These bundles include Intune and other Microsoft services and features, providing a more integrated and cost-effective solution for organizations already using multiple Microsoft products.

      Hi Jordi
      Thank you for your help.
      It's a little confusing because we have the Microsoft Business Premium license so it's weird to incorporate the Intune A Direct plan when there's the full Intune plan as well.
      So if I only select the Microsoft Intune plan I automatically include the features of the Microsoft Intune A - Direct plan without needing to select it as well ?
