    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.
