Yes, I’ve I understand there are 2 plans in Defender for cloud.

However Microsoft have now re released the standalone “defender for server” licence which they deprecated last year as its seat based and not consumption.

Last response was September 2021.

The sku as per the article was deprecated last year and returned last month however documentation has not been updated to reflect this.

    Okay,
    
    There is Defender for cloud…
    
    Comes with 2 plans (DFE plan 1 & 2)
    
    There is also DFE for Business servers which is limited to 60 licences per sku.
    
    Ms have now returned the per user DFE Server licence which is nothing to do with Defender for cloud… where is the documentation for this licence.
