Azure License Allocation

Question

Hi everyone,

I am just getting started in azure which has lead me to a very junior license question. I have noticed we have a few licenses in our managed azure tenant which are not assigned. Licenses include:

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps

Microsoft Defender for Identity

• Azure AD P2

What account should I assign these too? We already have access to these features via 365 Defender.

Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

If you already have the licensing you need assigned, then no need to assign these at all actually. Hold on to them if needed in the future! :)
