 # Defender for IoT licenses
 
-This article contains general information about the Microsoft Defender for IoT license, trial license and, if needed, how to extend the length of the trial and continue the Proof Of Concept (POC) to experience the value of Defender for IoT.
+This article provides an overview about the Microsoft Defender for IoT license and trial license. It also explains how to extend the trial period, if needed, and continue the Proof of Concept (POC) to further explore the value of Defender for IoT.
 
 ## The Defender for IoT license
 
 The Defender for IoT license is site-based according to the number of devices that your network has and needs to monitor. This ranges from a site that is an extra-small license for 100 devices to an extra large site license for over 5,000 devices.
 
-Each site can only have one license associated with it, so you must purchase the license that covers the number of devices at the site. For example, a site with more than 1000 devices customers need to purchase one XL license (covering 5000 devices) instead of two Large licenses (covering 1000 devices each). The only exception is the XL license, which can have multiple licenses applied to one site if there are more than 5000 OT devices there.
+Each pysical site can only have one license associated with it, so you must purchase the license that covers the number of devices at the site. For example, for a site with 2000 devices a customer needs to purchase one Extra Large (XL) license (covering up to 5000 devices) instead of two Large licenses (covering  up to 1000 devices each). If you need a license for a site with more than 5000 devices, ask your seller to help you access the 2XL or 3XL licenses in the Azure portal.
 
-If your network has even more than 5,000 devices a customer should contact their representative to find out how to access the 2XL or 3XL licenses in the Azure portal.
+Each Microsoft 365 license lasts for one year. A customer could also utilize the volume licensing option to purchase longer term licenses, for more information contact the sales team by [completing this form](https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v4j5cvGGr0GRqy180BHbR4hp0oiujZ9PvzH6GeTqtclUMDJCWDBNUVpNTjc1SVdXMDNPWlhUWDEyMi4u).<!-- check this is ok? belle -->
