Although attack surface reduction rules don't require a [Windows E5 license](/windows/deployment/deploy-enterprise-licenses), with a Windows E5 license, you get advanced management capabilities including monitoring, analytics, and workflows available in Defender for Endpoint, as well as reporting and configuration capabilities in the [Microsoft Defender XDR](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2077139) portal. These advanced capabilities aren't available with an E3 license, but you can still use Event Viewer to review attack surface reduction rule events.

We recommend using attack surface reduction rules with a Windows E5 license (or similar licensing SKU) to take advantage of the advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities available in [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](microsoft-defender-endpoint.md) (Defender for Endpoint). However, if you have another license, such as Windows Professional or Windows E3 that doesn't include advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities, you can develop your own monitoring and reporting tools on top of the events that are generated at each endpoint when attack surface reduction rules are triggered (for example, Event Forwarding).
