Intune Licensing - Device Enrolment
I am looking for some information on Intune and Device enrolment licensing. Currently, we have Microsoft Entra ID P1. Our setup is in a Hybrid environment. My account (Device Enrolment Manager) has ...
Thank you for the reply; it is a very detailed and helpful explanation. So it looks like the fact that we can do it doesn't necessarily mean we are licensed for it?!
We were testing using Autopilot & app, settings, and endpoint security deployment, which has worked using the DEM account. So, I assume if we continue using those features for all devices that are enrolled via DEM, we will require, at minimum, an Intune device-only license.
- Autopilot, App Deployment, Settings, and Endpoint Security Deployment: If you're using these features via DEM to enroll and manage devices, you'll need to ensure that each device is licensed for Intune—either through the Microsoft 365 E3/E5 license assigned to the user or through a standalone Intune device-only license.
- Intune Device-Only License: If you're managing devices without assigning a Microsoft 365 license to the user (or if the device is not tied to a user account with an eligible Microsoft 365 license), then the device will require an Intune device-only license for the management features you’re using.
Final Thoughts:
- You are on the right track: continuing to use Autopilot and other management features for devices enrolled through DEM means you will need to ensure you have the correct Intune licenses in place for those devices. Without the appropriate Intune device licenses, some features might not work as expected, and you could potentially run into compliance issues with Microsoft licensing terms.
