Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 — Pricing, Plans & What's Included

Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 is a Commercial Microsoft subscription for baseline identity, device management, mobile app management, and information protection needs. It is not a full Microsoft 365 productivity suite, because this catalog listing does not document Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint Online, OneDrive storage, Microsoft 365 Apps, or Windows Enterprise as included.

Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 is available in this Commercial catalog as a monthly commitment paid monthly, an annual commitment paid upfront, and an annual commitment paid monthly. The same Commercial SKU is listed across those commitment and billing choices, so buyers should choose based on flexibility, budget timing, and expected seat stability.

No, this catalog feed does not list a trial SKU for Enterprise Mobility + Security E3. If a proof of concept is needed, confirm with IT Partner whether Microsoft has any current trial, evaluation, or alternative pilot option available for your tenant.

Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 is generally evaluated for Microsoft identity, endpoint management, mobile app management, and information protection capabilities. However, this catalog source does not enumerate the individual service plans, so confirm the current EMS E3 service-plan details in Microsoft documentation or your tenant before relying on a specific component such as Microsoft Entra ID P1, Microsoft Intune, or information protection features.

Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 does not document Microsoft 365 Apps, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint Online, OneDrive storage, or Windows Enterprise licensing in this source pack. Those workloads usually require separate Microsoft 365, Office 365, Windows, or Teams-related licensing, because EMS E3 is positioned around security, identity, management, and information protection rather than productivity apps.

No, Teams is not documented as included with Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 in this catalog listing. Teams licensing depends on the customer’s Microsoft 365 or Office 365 plan and regional packaging rules, so a Commercial buyer should confirm Teams entitlement separately before assuming it is covered.

No, Microsoft 365 Copilot is not included with Enterprise Mobility + Security E3. Copilot is a separate add-on with its own eligibility and prerequisite requirements, because EMS E3 does not by itself provide the Microsoft 365 productivity apps, mailbox, Teams, or SharePoint content foundation that many Copilot scenarios depend on.

Yes, EMS E3 is commonly considered as an add-on or companion security subscription when a customer already has Microsoft 365 or Office 365 productivity licensing. You should still check for overlap, because plans such as Microsoft 365 Business Premium, Microsoft 365 E3, and Microsoft 365 E5 may already include some identity, Intune, or information protection capabilities.

A buyer should compare EMS E3 with EMS E5 when requirements include advanced identity governance, privileged access controls, identity protection, cloud app security, or more advanced threat and compliance capabilities. EMS E3 is the baseline choice, because this listing does not establish EMS E5-level security features as included.

Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 is commonly evaluated for Conditional Access scenarios because EMS E3 has historically aligned with Microsoft Entra ID P1 capabilities. Confirm the current service plans in your tenant before purchase, because this source pack does not explicitly list Microsoft Entra ID P1 or the exact Conditional Access entitlement.

Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 is commonly used for endpoint and mobile device management scenarios associated with Microsoft Intune. Confirm the current EMS E3 service-plan assignment and device rights before deployment, because this source pack does not state the licensing unit, device limits, or exact Intune entitlements.

Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 is often reviewed for mobile app management scenarios, including app protection policies, because EMS E3 is positioned around device and app management. The exact availability can depend on the current Intune service plan and app scenario, so confirm the entitlement in the tenant before designing a bring-your-own-device program.

Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 is commonly associated with information protection capabilities, but Microsoft branding and feature names can vary between Azure Information Protection and Microsoft Purview documentation. Confirm the current EMS E3 service plans and tenant feature availability before promising specific labeling, encryption, or data protection behavior.

Not by itself in many cases, because this catalog listing does not document Microsoft Purview compliance suite features, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, or advanced audit entitlements as included. If compliance requirements drive the purchase, compare EMS E3 with Microsoft 365 E3, Microsoft 365 E5, EMS E5, or separate compliance add-ons.

Start by inventorying existing Microsoft 365, Entra, Intune, endpoint, and security licenses, because EMS E3 may overlap with capabilities already owned. Then confirm service plans, assign licenses to a pilot group, validate Conditional Access and device policies, and expand only after testing user impact and break-glass administrator access.

The licensing unit and assignment rules are not specified in this source pack. Do not assume per-user, per-device, or multi-device rights from the catalog entry alone; confirm current Microsoft Product Terms or CSP licensing documentation before purchase and assignment.

Yes, a CSP partner transfer is typically designed to be zero-downtime because the services and users remain in the same Microsoft tenant while the billing relationship changes. IT Partner should validate tenant access, subscription status, renewal dates, and partner relationship setup before the transfer to avoid billing or administration gaps.

No, transferring the CSP relationship should not change the Microsoft cloud service itself, because the subscription continues to run in the customer’s tenant. IT Partner can quote the same Microsoft catalog offer and commitment option, although taxes, promotions, reseller services, and invoicing terms may vary.

You can generally add seats during an active CSP term, because Microsoft New Commerce subscriptions support increases for growing usage. Reducing seats or canceling is more restricted, especially after the short post-purchase or post-renewal cancellation window, so confirm the current CSP rules before choosing monthly versus annual commitment.

No, this catalog feed lists Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 only for the Commercial segment. Government customers should confirm GCC or GCC High offers and data residency requirements separately, nonprofits should verify eligibility and any grant or discounted charity offers, and education customers should check faculty, staff, and student licensing rules before buying a Commercial SKU.
