Subscription License Suites document

There’s an updated (April 2025) Subscription License Suites document from Microsoft. This useful document shows you which individual licences make up suites like Office 365 E3. There are a couple of changes: the addition of Microsoft 365 Business Premium as an eligible prerequisite for Microsoft 365 E5 Security, and a note about mixed licensing scenarios for Microsoft Defender for Business and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2.
