The short
version is that Microsoft doesn't allow us to retrieve the
count of devices from Intune / Azure without admin consent.
For more information please see below.
The Netwrix PolicyPak Licensing Tool (LT.EXE) uses the Microsoft.Graph.Intune API to retrieve the number of
devices from Azure AD, unfortunately this API requires Admin Consent to count the number of computers in Azure.
Below are the technical details and references to Microsoft API documentation where it is specified that these commands require admin consent: For LT we use the command "Get-Organization". This command requires one of the following permissions:
Below is the
link to Get-Organization command and its permissions that it needs (we need this command to get the number of
devices):

The table below is taken from the link above where we can see that both of the commands used in LT require admin
consent:
