Questions about licensing and availability of Office 365 functionality
It requires both creator and consumer to have E3, to have use rights when using/consuming the enterprise WCM search components - typically built into a custom portal (using the Content by Search web part). And as Dan suggested, maybe the same outcome can be achieved using the new Highlighted Content web part, that is by default scoped for a single site collection.

Thx, Mark.
I have a vague memory of a discussion about this, probably it the old yammer network (:.
I think that MS stated that the people Authoring/Publishing the content would need and E3, but the people consuming the results would not.
Hopefull someone from MS can confirm. danholme
Thank you Dean, that would make sense.
It would be good if somebody from Microsoft can confirm! (thanks in advance :-) )

Mark-Kashman will know for sure (or can find out).
The "highlighted contents web part" may be worth looking at as a modern alternative in your approach. That, for sure, is E1.
danholmethanks for responding. I'm not always sure who to @mention for topics like this. It would be great if there was a Responsibilities list somewhere so that we could target the right people and not overwhelm the wrong ones.
Thank you Dan,
I will certainly try and get my head around the highlighted contents web part; that looks promising!
