    Hi @TLQA ,

    Microsoft Azure Multi-Factor Authentication
    With your link it seems we can activate MFA for all users that have this licence - but we already have activated MFA for most users without this licence ever had. So for what is this ?

    The licensing agreement requires a Premium P1 license for each user who users MFA. Azure AD is licensed per user, which means that any user that benefits directly or indirectly from a service needs to have the license for that service. This may not always be enforced by the product itself, but can be an issue if you are ever audited and if the product does enforce it.

    For your second question, if you are asking about the licenses for Azure AD, Azure AD offers Free, Premium P1, and Premium P2 licenses that are needed for the use of certain features. The pricing page is here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/active-directory/

    Azure AD Premium does not only apply to admin users and regular users can benefit from those features as well.

    You can purchase standalone licenses for Intune users. Intune device licenses are subscription-based, meaning that you don't assign it to a user. For some features such as Intune auto-enrollment and conditional access, an Azure AD Premium license is also required. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/licensing/default

    I would recommend reaching out to your licensing representative of choice though, as these questions are typically handled by the Sales team. You can chat with them here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/contact-azure-sales/
