Defender for Endpoint License Consumption

Good day!

 

I just want to ask on how license consumption works in MDE. I have 5 devices onboarded to MDE using local script. All are AAD Joined and users with MDE license are logged in.

Upon checking on security.microsoft.com Settings>Endpoints>Licenses it shows that 0/20 licensed used but Monthly active devices are 5.

Can anyone help me with this?

 

TIA!

      Hello Guidolmpe,

      Thank you for your response. It answers how the licensing works.

      But this have been running for a month now and still not reflecting. Tried it also with other test tenant and same issue persist.

      My worry here is we might face a compliance issue with Microsoft if incase we forgot to monitor the onboarding for this.

      Any other workaround or resolution?

      Thank you!
