Microsoft F3 license and Defender for Endpoint on mobile

Question

Hi

We have Microsoft 365 Business Premium licenses and some frontline users have Microsoft 365 F3 licenses.

These F3 license users do not have laptops's or PC's but they have mobile device's in use, mostly Android devices.

When we configure Defender for Business and deploy Defender for Endpoint for mobile devices, does this include these F3 users Android devices or are these users out of the shield of Defender for Endpoint?

Answer 1

@IMK Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

Based on my research, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Android needs Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 1 or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2. Please refer to the prerequisites in the following article:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/microsoft-defender-endpoint-android?view=o365-worldwide#how-to-install-microsoft-defender-for-endpoint-on-android

However, Microsoft 365 F3 license doesn't have Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 1 or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2.

So, it is suggested to contact your license seller to find a more cost-effective way to purchase licenses.

Thanks for your understanding.
