if In-Place Hold features also applies to the users archive as well. Does it need a license?
Hello,
I would like to know if In-Place Hold features also applies to the users archive as well. For example if a user leaves the company can we put an In-Place Hold on the users archive so we can retain their old archived email as well as their mailbox without using up a licenses?
Also, regarding new feature that Microsoft is offering called inactive mailbox. Does inactive mailbox will apply to user's archive as well without using a license?

It doesn't mention anywhere that Inactive Mailbox will apply to archive. Also, when I am reading about the license, it is says that archiving feature will require license....So, I want to confirm to make sure that if you do use Inactive mailbox feature for archive as well, you don’t need a license.
Thank you.

In-Place Hold applies to all of the email that the In-Place Hold policy applies to. If a mailbox has data that applies to an In-place hold policy, the In-Place hold will prevent deletion regardless of what type of mailbox it is, and the licensing for In-Place Hold is per user, not per mailbox, so it will not require additional licensing to apply in-place hold on a user's regular mailbox as well as their archive.
Inactive mailboxes are completely inaccessible until they are re-activated, so they also do not use a license. If you ever have a need to retrieve any information from an inactive mailbox, you must attach it to a properly licensed user before you can do so.

@acbrown2010 that is entirely not true. I've tested this and it works just fine using a keyword search via In-Place eDiscovery. You can retrieve the entire inactive mailbox and even export out to a .pst file. No additional license is necessary for this.They changed that, then. They do that to O365 a lot.
