Intune licenses for Bulk Enrollment Method
Hi All,
I'm looking for the proper licensing for Intune when enrolling PCs via a provisioning package. Since this does not tie a device to a specific user, I'm wondering if I just need to purchase Intune Device licenses for each PC?

I was in the same boat before, I spent more money on E5 mobility to have more features (like AutoPilot) comparing to regular Intune license.
Here is great guide that might help you.

Moe_Kinani my question is really about Intune User vs Device licenses I guess. Since I will be enrolling PCs to Intune via the 'Bulk Enroll' method using a WCD provisioning package, there will be no direct user assigned to the PC. Technically, there is no Intune license verification during this enrollment process like there is with AAD auto-enrollment or Autopilot auto-enrollment.
I'm wondering since these will be more of a 'shared' type PC, and not tied directly to a user, do I need to simply purchase some Intune device licenses to be compliant. Even through these licenses may not be assigned to any users/devices.- Moe_KinaniBronze ContributorGot it now. According to the article below, device-only subscription should be enough for you whether doing self or bulk deployment.
