Hi All,

I am a bit confused about the Note below:

To analyze a user’s data using eDiscovery (Premium), the user (the custodian of the data) must be assigned an Office 365 E5 or Microsoft 365 E5 license. Alternatively, users with an Office 365 E1 or a Office 365 or Microsoft 365 E3 license can be assigned a Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance or Microsoft 365 eDiscovery and Audit add-on license. Administrators, compliance officers, or legal personnel who are assigned to cases as members and use eDiscovery (Premium) to collect, view, and analyze data don’t need an E5 license. For more information about eDiscovery (Premium) licensing, 

Is there any License requirement for the custodians also?

I have tested in my lab with where I performed advanced e-discovery on a custodian with F3 license and it worked.

Any ideas on this?
