Mike Austin explains Microsoft licensing rules under an Enterprise Agreement: every employee generally requires an E-suite license (E1/E3/E5), while exceptions exist for workers without dedicated devices who may be licensed with F-suite plans. He gives practical examples (retail shared PCs, healthcare nursing stations) to illustrate when F-suite licenses apply.

Basically in the ea. In other words, every single employee must be licensed for an E Suite, E1, E3, or E5. Now, they have the exception of the F suites, which are people that don't have a dedicated device can be licensed with an F suite. And those dedicated devices are like people who shared kiosks. So at a retail store, you know, people that use, you know, you might have 10 people with two PCs in the store, so they all share a PC. In a healthcare environment, you have a nursing station where you got, you know, three shifts, seven days a week that go through there that use two PCs. So you have multiple people using that. So you can exempt them from buying E plan, but you need to buy one of their F plans for those users.
