Intune Device Licenses
- Oct 25, 2024
UpNorthIntune Hi,
1-Intune device licenses are generally intended for company-owned devices, rather than personal devices.
For personal devices, one user license is sufficient for management with Intune.2-Yes, if a device remains in the Intune portal without being removed, it will continue to consume a license until it is deleted.
3-E3/E5 user licenses (I guess M365 E3/E5) can cover device management for users. Each E3 or E5 license includes Intune for user management, allowing each licensed user to register up to five devices; however, this must be assigned to a user.
4-No, you will not be licensing compliant, however.
5-No, if the user has an Intune license (M365 E3/E5), the device generally does not consume an additional license. The user license covers the devices registered by that user (up to five), including enterprise devices.
I hope I have been of some help to you.

UpNorthIntune Microsoft's licensing world is very complicated 😄
- UpNorthIntuneOct 25, 2024Iron ContributorIt is indeed.
Especially when your currently enrolling hundreds of Android CORP devices.- micheleariisOct 25, 2024MCT
I also hit my head; I have many Android devices configured in kiosk mode; I had to buy Intune Plan 1 licenses that I can't assign because there is not a user but a device; they are only there to be compliant at the license level
