Hello,

the Defender offboarding process is a bit confusing. 

It would be nice if we have clear procedure how to perform offboarding.

Does device must be offboarded first and then uninstall Microsoft Defender app? 

In our environment we always wipe machine and install it again for another employee.

Is that process of wiping enough to cover offboarding, removing license,…? Just want to avoid overuse of licenses. 

And in a case that device must be offboarded first, do we need to offboard devices using MDM system? We use Intune for Windows, Mosyle for macOS, SureMDM for Linux.

I know that device will become inactive after some time. Does that mean that license is not in use?

Thank you in advance.
