Standalone MDATP offers available

Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection

Summary

Standalone Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (MDATP) offers are available in Enterprise Agreement (EA) from February 1, 2020. Microsoft is removing the Windows E3 license pre-requirement from MDATP, thus allowing it for all supported devices.

DetailsThe removal of Windows E3 license pre-requirement from MDATP means that customers will be able to purchase MDATP for all their supported devices, regardless of their Windows E3 license ownership.

In order to enable this business model change for both commercial and education customers, they are launching standalone MDATP SKUs in enterprise on the February 1, 2020 price list.

These are the new SKUs:

SKU
QLS-00003
Description
Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection

SKU
QLU-00002
Description
Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection EDU

The SKUs listed above were originally created for licensing MDATP on non-Windows devices. From February 1, 2020, customers will be able to purchase these SKUs to license MDATP on all supported devices—including Windows Pro—as well.

There's also no change to existing Win E5, M365 E5 Security and M365 E5 offers, as those offerings will continue to include MDATP.
