License question: do I need only 1 EMS E5 to get Defender for Identity enabled for whole AD via connector, or I have to get E5 for all users ?
To be fully compliant with licensing, you need a Defender for Identity license for each human being protected in the environment. This could be with an M365 E5 license, M365 E5 Security license, or standalone Defender for Identity license.
Yes, you could set up an entire organization with a single E5 license, but you would not be compliant, and this is not something I would recommend.
