If I plan to buy E5 licenses, will my Entra ID be upgraded from free to premium, or are they separate licenses? I currently have the free version of Entra ID.

    Hi @Abdullah ,

    Microsoft 365 E5 for enterprise customers includes Microsoft Entra ID P2 as part of the bundle, so once you assign the E5 license, the Entra version should upgrade.

    I'd like to add to Marilee's answer.

    There's a great pdf comparison sheet here that shows all of the E5 features.
