Try or buy Intune add-ons

Global and Billing administrators can choose to start free trials or purchase licenses for Intune add-ons through the Microsoft 365 admin center. Administrators who aren't Global or Billing administrators can still see the status of their tenant's Intune add-ons trial or active licenses in the centralized Intune add-on page in the Intune admin center. However, they can't start a free trial or purchase licenses.

Starting a free trial gives you a 90-day period to use the Intune add-on capability without any charge. Trials can be up to 250 users per tenant. At the end of the trial period, there's a 30-day grace period. After this point, you'll be unable to use the Intune add-on capability in Microsoft Intune for users within your tenant unless you've purchased the appropriate licenses. There's a one-time limit to start a trial for each tenant.

Purchasing licenses lets you use the Intune add-on capability in your tenant for the duration in which the licenses are active on your tenant based on the option selected during the Billing process.

Intune add-on capabilities are disabled in Microsoft Intune admin center unless you are in the free trial period or have purchased licenses.

How to start a trial through the Microsoft 365 admin center

Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center as a Global or Billing administrator.
Navigate to Tenant administration > Intune add-ons.
Find the Intune add-on to start a trial. For add-ons that say Available for trial or purchase in their status, you don't have a free trial started or any licenses purchased for those add-ons.

Navigate to Tenant administration > Intune add-ons and see that the Intune add-on capability you added is now Active.

Web direct purchase in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center
