Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government — Pricing, Plans & What's Included

Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government is a per-user standalone subscription for eligible government tenants that need core cloud endpoint management. It is used to manage devices, apps, configuration policies, compliance policies, and work data through Microsoft Intune, subject to feature availability in the customer’s government cloud environment.

Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government includes standalone Intune Plan 1 licensing for core endpoint management scenarios because it is the base Intune management plan. Typical use cases include mobile device management, mobile application management, device configuration, compliance policies, app protection policies, and supported remote actions, depending on the tenant, platform, and government cloud environment.

Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government does not include Microsoft 365 Apps, Teams, Exchange, SharePoint, Windows licenses, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, or Microsoft Entra ID P1/P2 unless those are licensed separately or through another eligible suite. It also does not include advanced Intune Suite add-ons such as Remote Help, Endpoint Privilege Management, Enterprise App Management, advanced analytics, or Cloud PKI unless those add-ons are separately licensed and available for the government cloud environment.

Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government is listed as a per-user subscription because the catalog offer is for user-based Intune Plan 1 licensing. If an agency needs kiosk, shared, or device-only management, it should confirm whether a separate device-based licensing option is available and orderable for its specific government tenant before purchasing.

No, Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government does not by itself include Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2 because those are separate identity licenses or are included in certain Microsoft suites. Intune can evaluate device compliance, but Conditional Access policies require the appropriate Microsoft Entra licensing and must be confirmed against the agency’s existing Microsoft 365 or Entra subscriptions.

Yes, Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government can manage supported app deployment and app protection scenarios for Microsoft apps because Intune provides endpoint and application management controls. However, it does not grant the user rights to Teams, Outlook, Exchange, SharePoint, or Microsoft 365 Apps; those workloads must be licensed separately or through an eligible Microsoft 365 government suite.

No, Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government does not include Microsoft 365 Copilot because Copilot is a separate licensing and eligibility decision tied to supported Microsoft 365 plans and cloud availability. Intune can help manage devices and apps used to access Microsoft 365 services, but Copilot licensing, data boundary, and government cloud availability should be confirmed separately before purchase.

No, Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government does not include Intune Suite advanced add-ons because those are separate capabilities beyond the base Intune Plan 1 license. If an agency needs Remote Help, Endpoint Privilege Management, Enterprise App Management, advanced endpoint analytics, or Cloud PKI, it should confirm add-on availability and orderability for its exact government cloud environment.

Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government is a Government segment offer, but the source catalog does not specify GCC High availability. An agency should confirm the exact government cloud environment, such as GCC or GCC High, before ordering because Microsoft cloud availability and SKU orderability can differ by environment.

Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government can support government endpoint management, but purchasing the license alone does not guarantee that an agency’s specific residency, regulatory, clearance, or compliance requirements are satisfied. The correct Microsoft government cloud, tenant configuration, identity setup, device platforms, and policy design must be validated before deployment.

No, a standard commercial business should not buy Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government because this offer is for eligible Government segment customers only. Commercial, education, charity, and government customers each use their own segment-specific Microsoft offers and eligibility rules.

No, a nonprofit or charity organization should not use the Government Intune Plan 1 offer unless it separately qualifies for government purchasing through the appropriate Microsoft channel. Charities should use charity-specific Microsoft offers and confirm nonprofit eligibility, grant availability, and licensing rules instead of assuming the Government SKU applies.

No, education customers should not use the Government Intune Plan 1 offer because Microsoft has education-specific licensing and eligibility rules for faculty, staff, and students. A school should confirm whether it needs faculty/staff licensing, student licensing, or an education suite that already includes Intune before buying standalone Intune seats.

Not automatically, because many Microsoft 365, Enterprise Mobility + Security, or government suite licenses may already include Intune rights. Before buying standalone Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government, the agency should confirm current user entitlements to avoid duplicate licensing.

No free trial is listed for this Government offer in the source catalog. If an agency needs to evaluate Intune before a full rollout, it should ask IT Partner to confirm any currently available Microsoft evaluation path, proof-of-concept option, or pilot approach for the specific government tenant.

Microsoft Intune Plan 1 for Government is available in monthly commitment with monthly billing, or annual commitment with either annual upfront payment or monthly payments. Annual upfront is typically the best per-seat rate among the listed Government options, annual paid monthly is slightly higher, and monthly commitment provides the most flexibility.

Seats can generally be added during a subscription term because Microsoft commerce subscriptions support increasing quantities, usually aligned to the existing term. Reductions, cancellations, and renewal changes are more restricted and depend on the commitment term and Microsoft’s current cancellation window, so agencies should confirm the rule set before ordering.

At renewal, the agency should review seat counts, commitment term, billing frequency, and whether users still need standalone Intune Plan 1 because renewal is the cleanest time to reduce or restructure licensing. Annual commitments are less flexible during the term, while monthly commitments are better when staffing or project scope is expected to change.

Yes, a CSP transfer to IT Partner can normally be completed without user downtime because the Microsoft tenant, user identities, devices, and Intune service remain in place while subscription administration moves to the new CSP relationship. IT Partner should validate the subscription term, renewal date, seat quantity, and government SKU orderability before transfer so service continuity and the same Microsoft-published SKU pricing path are preserved.

A government agency should start with tenant and eligibility validation, then confirm identity prerequisites, supported platforms, enrollment methods, compliance policies, app protection needs, and any GCC or GCC High constraints. A practical rollout usually begins with a pilot group, baseline device configuration, app management, compliance reporting, and migration planning from any existing MDM tool.
