Note, however, that the ticks for Data Connectors should extend across all three columns. There are a number of other errors too which you can find documented by searching for the latest Purview Licensing Guide in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.licensingschool.co.uk\/licenseverse\/licensing-guides-gallery\/\">Licensing Guides Gallery<\/a>.

Many of the Microsoft Purview services are tenant-level services which means that they\u2019re activated in part or in full for all users in the tenant, and this page has some good licensing guidance from Microsoft as to what you need to do to remain compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Microsoft\u2019s plan comparison document<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Microsoft\u2019s most popular resources, this plan comparison <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/M365EnterprisePlans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">document<\/a> is a splendid way to see which different components are included in the various Office 365\/Microsoft 365 plans.
