 Licensing guidance for Microsoft 365 security and compliance services
What we expect from customers when licensing is not technically enforced:
1. License every user intended to benefit from the service.
2. Use the provided admin tools and instructions to help limit availability of the service to licensed users.

Public-facing guidance at https://aka.ms/ComplianceSD

Guidance by product/service: Downloadable detailed feature-to-SKU map

Office 365 Advanced eDiscovery
Office 365 Advanced eDiscovery provides investigation and eDiscovery solutions for IT and legal departments
within corporations to identify, collect, preserve, reduce, and review content related to an investigation or
litigation prior to export out of the Office 365 system.

Which licenses provide the rights for a user to benefit from the service?
Office 365 A5/G5, Microsoft 365 A5/G5, Microsoft 365 A5/G5 Compliance, Microsoft 365 A5 eDiscovery & Audit,
and Office 365 Advanced Compliance provide the rights for a user to benefit from Advanced eDiscovery.

How do users benefit from the service?

A user benefits from Advanced eDiscovery when the user is selected as a data custodian (a person having
administrative control of a document or electronic file) for a case.

How is the service provisioned/deployed?

By default, Advanced eDiscovery features are enabled at the tenant level for all users within the tenant when
admins assign eDiscovery permissions in the Security & Compliance Center.

How can the service be applied only to users in the tenant who are licensed for the service?
eDiscovery administrators can select specific users as data custodians for a case by using the built-in custodian
management tool in Advanced eDiscovery as described in Add custodians to an Advanced eDiscovery case.
