A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Mike Austin about choosing between cloud service provider or enterprise agreement licensing. The speaker states that every employee generally must have an E-suite license (E1, E3, or E5) but employees without a dedicated device (shared-device workers) may be licensed with F-suite plans; retail and healthcare shared-device examples are used to illustrate the exception.

Questions this video answers

An E Suite license (E1, E3, or E5).
