 Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management is available as an add-on for [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2](/defender-endpoint/microsoft-defender-endpoint) or as a standalone subscription. 
 
+- Defender Vulnerability Management is licensed per user. Each user must have a valid license, and that license covers all of the endpoints they use. Organizations must ensure they have enough user-based licenses to cover everyone using the service. 
 - Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 includes core vulnerability management capabilities. The Defender Vulnerability Management add-on extends these capabilities with consolidated inventories, expanded asset coverage, cross-platform support, and new assessment and mitigation tools. 
-
 - The standalone version of Defender Vulnerability Management helps your security team to efficiently discover, assess, and remediate vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. This offering is recommended for customers who already have Defender for Endpoint Plan 1 or Microsoft 365 E3, and new customers.
