Question about licensing ATP

Copper Contributor

Hello,

 

I have a question, maybe stupid, about licensing of ATP. 

I have "Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection" licenses, applied to users.

But i deploy ATP with SCCM on Devices

 

So i do not really understand how it work for licences.

 

If i deploy it on all my devices, but give licenses only on some users, what will happend ?

 

And if i give a licenses to a user but don't deploy it on his device ?

 

thank you :)

Have a nice day !

AFAIK, SCCM doesn't check for any license on the device.
So there is no monitoring, but you have to check your licenses for your license agreemen

@Thijs Lecomte thank you for your answer ! :)

 

So if i understand well, there is no check.

So it's on me to be careful to not overcomit.

 

If i have for exemple 100 licenses, put this 100 licences over 100 users, but deploy it on 150 computers, it will work on the 150 computers, bu i will be out of legal terms, am i right ?
