License Defender for business if the tenant has already reached 300. If you want On-board to use on the Server, can you buy more SKU : Defender for Business Server? Now try Add Lic trial but in front of Lic Defender setting it doesn't show up Defender for business Server, so I want to know Is there any other limitation? For example, if reaching 300 then unable to use business server or in tenant has MDE P2 mixed in so unable to use? Please contact me for information and Ref. Thank you User's image

    Hi @Techit Sriwichai ,

    Thanks for the post! Defender for Business Servers is meant for up to 300 employees and no more. The licensing agreement requires that you have no more than 300.

    After that you would need to upgrade to the Microsoft 365 Business Premium subscription, or consider using other Enterprise solutions such as Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft 365 Defender, or Microsoft 365 for enterprise.

    It's always free to speak with a representative from the licensing/subscription/sales team though, so if you have further questions I would recommend speaking with them.
