No. For example:

Microsoft Defender for Business doesn't support mixed licensing, so a tenant with Defender for Business (which is included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium) along with Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 (which is included in Microsoft Defender Suite for Business Premium) defaults to the Defender for Business experience.

- 80 users are licensed for Business Premium (which includes Defender for Business).

- To those 80 users, you add 30 licenses of Microsoft 365 E5 Security (which includes Defender for Endpoint Plan 2).

The result is: all 80 users get the Defender for Business experience. To switch to the Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 experience, you need to do the following steps:

1. License all users for Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 using one of the following methods:

- License all users with the standalone version of Defender for Endpoint Plan 2.

- License all users with Microsoft 365 E5 Security.

2. Contact Microsoft Support to request the switch for your organization.

For example, if you have 80 users licensed for Microsoft 365 Business Premium, and you've added Microsoft Defender Suite for Business Premium for 30 of those users, the experience for all users defaults to Defender for Business. If you want to change that to the Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 experience, you should license all users for Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 (either through the standalone version of Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 or Microsoft Defender Suite for Business Premium), and then contact Microsoft Support to request the switch for your tenant.

Many small to medium-sized businesses don't provide company-owned mobile devices to users, yet users need to access company data when they're not in the office. Although using personal devices to access company data is common these days (in particular, email and calendar data), the practice increases the risk that business information could end up in the wrong hands.
