No License Found - Microsoft Defender

Question

Hi there,

I am seeing the following message when opening Microsoft Defender on a Mac (deployed via Intune).

We do have Defender license assigned to user via Business Premium. We already have set section 1 set to Windows 10 and 11 in Microsoft Defender Portal.

My question is, will it alter the current configs in Intune if I change this to macOS to download the onboarding package to follow steps outlined in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/mac-install-manually#download-installation-and-onboarding-packages to make Defender work?

Any help will be much appreciated.

@Anam Ahmed Thanks for posting in our Q&A.
Based on my research, if we met this message "No license found", we can refer to the following article to troubleshoot.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/mac-support-license#no-license-found

For your question, based on my understanding, it will not change the current configurations in intune. I checked this link you provided. Only downloading installation and onboarding packages. The difference is we do manually, or we deploy it via intune.
