On Microsoft Defender portal, why is my Defender for Identity locked out?

Question

I did create the Microsoft Sentinel as well as created a log analytics workspace. Followed all of the necessary steps. Once in the Microsoft Defender portal, it says that my Defender for Identity is locked out. Why is this? Entra ID Protection has been made available.

Answer 1

This is a licensed service - you need to purchase the corresponding subscription (separate from Entra ID)
