The site-based license model offers a simplified approach to licensing by providing coverage for entire sites rather than individual devices. Customers can purchase annual licenses for their operational sites where Operational Technology (OT) devices are deployed, and receive security coverage for all devices within the site.

Our site-based license model streamlines your licensing needs by covering entire sites instead of individual devices. With this model, you can purchase annual licenses for your operational sites where Operational Technology (OT) devices are deployed. This ensures comprehensive security coverage for all devices within each site.

Licenses come in five different sizes, based on the number of devices at the site. The licenses range from the smallest tier that covers up to 100 devices per site, to the largest tier, which secures up to 5000 devices per site. For more information, see [license sizing details](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/endpoint-security/microsoft-defender-iot-pricing#xfb84a030eec341cb84a6165f393e928a).

There are two methods for assessing the number of devices at your site. You could either utilize your OT network monitoring tools to detect and count the devices per site, or use previous knowledge of the number of devices at the site and update the license during the annual license renewal if needed.
