1. What I meant there was you have to use Office 365 Apps as Shared Activation method.
What you saying is the users who are using those shared computers have a single account? (like a generic account? is it? I didn't understand this part all have also an O365-E3 license
2. If the user has EMS-E3 that covers the licensing requirement. To use the Intune benefits, User or Device licence is required. If you are have Intune device license type, then having the adequate number of license in the portal is acceptable. You don't need to specifically assign them. But if the user has EMS-E3 already, you are covered.

Hi shehanjp, sorry for the late response...
1. I will try to make it more clear (sometimes hard in a text), I meant that the final users, that are using those shared windows devices all have an Office 365-E3 license, therefor I thought that we will be fine about the licensing part, when we install the Microsoft 365 Apps on those shared devices. If i understand this office shared activation process correctly, we only would run into a problem, if a user would go over those 5 windows devices that he can use?
2. yeah that part is still a bit contradictory to me... I will use an example for it:
o I have a site at Berlin
o we have one shared windows 10 Notebook there, but no Intune License in our portal for it.
o now 3 employees with an EMS-E3 License use that device, so that would be fine like you said.
o A 4th employee wants to use the shared windows device now, but he has no EMS-E3 license. In that scenario at that point its not valid anymore right? so in that case at that exact point we have to have an extra intune license ready, correct?
