As long as you have at least one qualifying license, you can continue using the feature with no changes. Configuration will be preserved, unless you have configured features explicitly dependent on additional SKUs (i.e. endpoint or MCAS integration).

I couldn't find the answers which I'm looking for from there. So, I have just one Microsoft 365 E5 License, I can continue to use the DLP for Endpoint for the all company users without assigning it as long as the License is available? That is true?VasilMichev

Microsoft simply chooses not to enforce licensing requirements in code for many of the features, which doesn't mean they just look away if you violate the terms.
- nopnopJan 11, 2023Copper ContributorI think I couldn't explain it clearly. What I want to learn simply is that how many license do i need. Do I need licenses as much as users or just one is enough to use DLP for endpoint feature for the all company? Because to use that feature device onboarding is needed. So, should I buy the licenses for each device? This is not a situation related terms violation.
