Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Server vs for Endpoint

Hi Everyone,

 

Can I onboard my servers to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint P2 or it is mandatory to obtain a separate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Server for them?

 

Also, what is the difference between the two licenses? Is it for compliance only and technically they are the same?

 

Thanks

    MDE plan 2 is meant for user based licensing. To manage servers you need separate server licenses. While technically possible to onboard and manage servers, you are strongly advised to purchase the necessary licenses to report in compliance.
