Mobile Threat Defense for Entra Shared Device Mode
Hi Buddy
Many thanks for your quick and informative reply. As the Entra Shared devices are "userless" and logged into by multiple users, I assume that each logged on user must have a Defender for Endpoint license?

Hi StuartK73 ,
good question, but in Entra Shared Device Mode (userless/shared) licensing the users won’t solve it because Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on mobile isn’t supported on userless or shared devices (Android and iOS). So even if every user had an MDE license, that specific shared/userless scenario still won’t be supported/functional.
For supported scenarios (non-shared/user-based devices), the licensing model is typically:
- Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 is per user, and each licensed user can have up to five concurrently onboarded devices.
For Shared Device Mode, most orgs go with a third-party MTD partner integrated with Intune compliance + Conditional Access, or they redesign the scenario to a user-based enrollment model if MDE is a hard requirement.
