Re: Microsoft License A3 vs A5 Security Licensing

["Meier, Tina" <tina.meier () OKSTATE EDU>]

Hello

As a note, Windows Defender ATP license for server is not included in A5. These items are a separate add-on line item 
on your EES renewal.

Hi Robert,

Check out 
https://github.com/renisac/O365-Management-and-Log-Scripts#a35-comparison-chart<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Frenisac%2FO365-Management-and-Log-Scripts%23a35-comparison-chart&data=02%7C01%7Ctina.meier%40okstate.edu%7Cbfb0030e4a9747f10bf108d807ce8353%7C2a69c91de8494e34a230cdf8b27e1964%7C0%7C0%7C637267930840806572&sdata=beYH%2BKJXO9UlFc4GixGP0IBVe6GMcaBZWLc5ahxSKIU%3D&reserved=0>

REN-ISAC maintains that github repo mostly for operational scripts, but we do include that comparison chart which is 
routinely updated by a Microsoft government sector employee.

I think what you're after would be the A3 in the light purple box + the Microsoft 365 A5 Security box shaded in black 
within the bigger A5 box.

I'm sorry.  I should be more specific.  We will be purchasing A3 to cover our campus.  There is an option for 
A5-Security (add on).  I have been looking for something that shows specifically A3 vs A3 + A5 security.  Maybe it is 
the same thing, but I'm not sure.  The table you supplied does show A3 vs A5, which helps (thank you), but there isn't 
a lot of detail (a good point to start digging from tho).

Morning,

I'm doing some hunting on the A3 vs A5 licensing.  Has anybody purchased A3 + A5 Security?  Does anybody have a good 
comparison of A3 security to A5 security?
