Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 and M365 E5 license users.

[SystemEngineer]

Hi All,

I have purchased Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 about 1000 licenses.

So far I can see there are 100 users in the M365 E5 license, so based on this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/defender-for-office-365?...

Can the M365 E5 licenses be excluded from the Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 ?

Thank you in advance.
