Licensing in Microsoft 365 for sensitivity labels

Sensitivity labels are part of the Microsoft Purview Information Protection solution. For manual sensitivity labeling, the following licenses provide user permissions:

  • Microsoft 365 E5/A5/G5/E3/A3/G3/F1/F3/Business Premium/OneDrive for Business (Plan 2),
  • Enterprise Mobility + Security E3/E5,
  • Office 365 E5/A5/E3/A3,
  • AIP Plan 1,

Please note that Microsoft 365 Apps require user-based subscription licensing for users to use sensitivity labels with Office clients. Device-based licensing isn't supported.
