Using the Intune add-ons page

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center as a Global or Billing administrator.

  2. Navigate to Tenant administration > Intune add-ons.

  3. The Your add-ons tab shows a list of all Intune add-ons in trial or purchased for a billing account in your organization.

  4. The All add-ons tab shows you a list of all Intune add-ons that are available for trial or purchase. For more information on how to Try or buy Intune add-ons, see Try or buy Intune add-ons.

  5. The Capabilities tab provides details about each of the Intune add-on capabilities that are available for trial or purchase. For more information, select Learn more.

Note

If you are not a global or billing admin, the your add-ons tab is not visible. However, the Capabilities tab allows you to see what you are eligible to use.

Try or buy Intune add-ons

Global and Billing administrators can choose to start free trials or purchase licenses for Intune add-ons through the Microsoft 365 admin center. Administrators who aren't Global or Billing administrators can still see the status of their tenant's Intune add-ons trial or active licenses in the centralized Intune add-on page in the Intune admin center. However, they can't start a free trial or purchase licenses.

Starting a free trial gives you a 90-day period to use the Intune add-on capability without any charge. Trials can be up to 250 users per tenant. At the end of the trial period, there's a 30-day grace period. After this point, you'll be unable to use the Intune add-on capability in Microsoft Intune for users within your tenant unless you've purchased the appropriate licenses. There's a one-time limit to start a trial for each tenant.

Purchasing licenses lets you use the Intune add-on capability in your tenant for the duration in which the licenses are active on your tenant based on the option selected during the Billing process.

Intune add-on capabilities are disabled in Microsoft Intune admin center unless you are in the free trial period or have purchased licenses.

How to start a trial through the Microsoft 365 admin center

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center as a Global or Billing administrator.

  2. Navigate to Tenant administration > Intune add-ons.

    • Subscription status - Each add-on shows a status of either Active or Available for trial or purchase. For add-ons that say Available for trial or purchase in the Subscription status column, you can start the free trial or purchase licenses.

    • Try or Buy - Select View details in the Try or Buy column to know more about what's included and the trial and purchase information.

    • Select To try or buy, go to Purchase services link to navigate to the Microsoft 365 admin center. A new tab opens on the Product details page for the selected Intune add-on.

  4. In the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, follow the prompts to Start free trial and confirm your order.
