Defender for Endpoint Licensing Confusion

Hello

 

I have a query that is a bit confusing and would like to have a clear answer,

 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/defender-endpoint-plan-1-2?view=o365-worldwide

Based on the above link Defender for Endpoint P2 License Supports Windows Server OS's. However this does not indicate any limits to this in the link

 

However in a different link it is mentioned that The standalone versions of Defender for Endpoint Plan 1 and Plan 2, even when they are included as part of other Microsoft 365 plans, do not include server licenses. To onboard servers to those plans, you'll need Defender for Servers Plan 1 or Plan 2 as part of the Defender for Cloud offering

 

Which one is true exactly? So if i want to onboard servers to Defender for Endpoint i would need Defender for Cloud?

 

Appreciate some advice on this

 

Regards

Aaqib
