Azure AD licensing requirements

[parilla]

What Azure AD licensing requirements are there for this password hash sync to work to Azure AD Domain Services?
e.g. for password hash sync to work back to on-premises accounts a Premium P1 license is required according to this doc: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/active-directory/

Does this condition apply to Azure AD Domain Services also, or is password hash sync included in all Azure AD license editions?

@parilla As far as I know there is no specific license requirement for password hash sync. However, you are correct if password write back is required then Premium license is an requirement.

@mahesh-unnikrishnan - Please confim if my understanding is correct here.

There is no license requirement for the sync from Azure AD to AAD-DS. It works for all Azure AD editions (free, basic & premium).
