Thank you for posting this in Microsoft Q&A.

Microsoft defender for endpoint is part of Microsoft 365 Defender. Or you can also get Defender for endpoint as separate service plan.

However, defender for endpoint service plan is not part of Microsoft 365 E3 license pack.

Microsoft 365 defender is part of Office E5 plan, and as I mentioned above, Microsoft defender for endpoint is part of Microsoft 365 Defender.

If you have Office E5 license, then you will by default have Microsoft defender for endpoint.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello @Sandeep G-MSFT , so if i only have Microsoft 365 E3 license i should navigate to security.microsoft.com to see defender license that i have? If you see on my previous picture i have plan 1 but why on subcription state in the portal say i use defebder plan 2?

Not sure how you have a P2 if you have a E3 license unless it was bought separately though would think it would show up there even if it is an add-on. My E3 license shows it under the Apps area below the list you showed above. If you have 883 users with an E3 license that would be why you have that many available. It though saying you have 883 available but you have 886 E3 licenses is kind of odd.

In the area you are at, if you go under billing on the left side and then licenses, what do you see in there? Is there anything about a P2 or maybe E5 license? The E5 though should show up in the list you have above.
