PereiraMan I spent many hours working on this with Microsoft Support. In the end they tell me that I can only purchase this stand alone license through a partner. However, they did grant me a trial period which I was able to extend by 90 days. When I first did the trial is was for 30 days. It then expired and they sent me an email asking me to purchase it. I followed the link in the email and there was no way to select that product. I could only select the "Microsoft 365 E5 Security" product for $12 a month. Our portal does not show the stand alone Windows Defender ATP for $5.20. I also asked them about mixing non enterprise products for users. They said as long as it allowed me to purchase it that it was "legal." I have some enterprise users and some non who don't require all of those features. In the end I am just going to have to add the $12 E5 Security to all of my users.
For some users we have this config:
- Microsoft 365 Business Premium $20 /Mo
- Enterprise Mobile + Security E5
$14.80 - Microsoft 365 E5 Security $12
But I also see that we could have specified just Microsoft 365 Business Standard
$12.50 / Mo.
What am I missing?
