Starting January 2024, new customers require specific licenses to use or continue using Information Protection sensitivity labels. Existing customers using sensitivity labels without the correct licenses will have a grace period until early April 2024. Admins and users who use Information Protection sensitivity labels need to have the required licenses assigned to them. For more details on the licenses required, please refer to the link provided in the message.

Enterprise Mobility + Security E3/E5
Office 365 E5/A5/E3/A3

For both client and server-side automatic sensitivity labeling, the following licenses are required:

E5 Compliance
Microsoft 365 E5/A5/G5 Information Protection and Governance
Office 365 E5/A5/G5
You can find a list of licenses and details here.
Please note that this is not a new change. Information Protection sensitivity labels have been a part of the above licenses since they were launched.
[When this will happen:]
Current organizations with Microsoft 365 E1 and below licenses assigned to their admins can create Information Protection sensitivity labels and use some sensitivity labeling functionality. However, starting January 2024, new customers require one of the licenses listed above (or equivalent) to use or continue using Information Protection sensitivity labels. Existing customers using sensitivity labels without the correct licenses will have a grace period where they can continue using the functionality until early April 2024.
