Licensing for Microsoft Entra Tenant Governance (preview)

I require additional clarification for the licensing amounts for using the Entra Tenant Governance

The documentation describes 2 tiers of licenses for the Entra Tenant Governance

How does it break down to amount of licenses?

Do we require at least one license per tenant (governing and governed?) or the calculation should be different?

Thanks

    Tenant Governance licensing is feature-based, not “per tenant” in the sense of one license per governing/governed tenant. The documentation in the context only specifies:

    1. Which Tenant Governance features are available at which Entra license level.
    2. Per-tenant feature limits (for example, number of monitors, snapshot jobs, etc.).

    From the provided tables:

    • Configuration management (single-tenant monitoring, drift reporting, snapshots) is available with:
      • Microsoft Entra ID P1
      • Microsoft Entra ID P2
      • Microsoft Entra ID Governance
    • Related tenants (discover related tenants) is available with:
      • Microsoft Entra ID Governance only
    • Governance relationships (GDAP, custom multitenant app injection) are available with:
      • GDAP governance relationship: Entra ID P1, P2, and Entra ID Governance
      • Custom multitenant app injection: Entra ID Governance only
    • Secure tenant creation (new tenant creation with governance relationship) is available with:
      • Free
      • Entra ID P1
      • Entra ID P2
      • Entra ID Governance

    The context does not define a specific “per-tenant” or “per-relationship” license-counting rule (for example, “one license per governed tenant” or “one license per governing tenant”). Instead, it states that:

    • Tenant Governance is available at two service levels: Tenant Governance Basic and Tenant Governance Premium.
    • Which features are available depends on the underlying Entra license (Free, P1, P2, Entra ID Governance).

    Therefore, based on the provided documentation, only the following can be stated:

    • A tenant must have the appropriate Entra license tier (Free, P1, P2, or Entra ID Governance) to use the corresponding Tenant Governance features and limits listed in the tables.
    • The documentation in the context does not specify a formula such as “at least one license per governing tenant” or “one license per governed tenant,” nor any per-user counting model specific to Tenant Governance.

    For exact license quantity calculations (for example, how many P1/P2/ID Governance licenses are required per admin or per user when using Tenant Governance features), the necessary details are not present in the provided context.
