Office 365 - Litigation Hold

Question

Hello guys,

I have a simple question that I didn't found in Microsoft Learn.

The Office 365 Litigation Hold requires at least a license below:

• Office 365 E3
• Office 365 E5

my doubt is the following: if I already have one of the licenses above and I enable Litigation Hold in all mailboxes of my environment, will I have additional cost for it ? or will I remain paying only license pricing.

Thansk!

IF you are already licensed for it, you dont pay anything extra when you enable lit hold

Answer 2

Hi @VolginRnB ,
I agree with what Andy said.

According to my test in my environment, I could directly enable litigation hold for a mailbox that is assigned the correct lincense.
