Hope somebody can help.

Defender for business has been released, we a customer which would like to use Defender for business + defender for endpoint server. But the is this rule : Customers with a combined minimum of 50 licenses for one or more of the following may acquire Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (server) licenses.

Can they do that with 50 defender for Business via M365 Business premium ?

As per the table which list what individual plans are included in suites like M365BP, no: Commercial Licensing Terms (microsoft.com)

However, why not license the servers via Defender for Cloud (Per Server consumption based pricing)? This licensing option would be recommend since it allows a more holistic management of security for the server environment: Pricing—Microsoft Defender | Microsoft Azure
