1. Assign License Using the office365 portal · From the office365 Portal · Connect to – Office365 Portal with the right permissions (Or global administrator or User management administrator) · In the left section Go to the Users and Groups · Search for the user using the Magnifying glass · Press on the user · In the Licenses page – Check the relevant license

· If you did not provide the user location you will be redirected to the settings page ·Add the User location __________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Assign License to individual users Using Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell

• Connect to “Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell

*In order to do that you will need to download and install this PowerShell , you can find the download in Here

  Alternatively, you can load the cmdlets manually by typing “import-module MSOnline” at the Windows PowerShell command prompt.

• Type : Connect-msolservice
• Enter the credentials of a user with the appropriate permissions (Or global administrator or User management administrator )
• Get the name of the license – Get-MsolAccountSku

• Now you need to add the location for the user you whish to assign license to  (In my case the location is IL):

Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName idit@Domain.com |Set-MsolUser -UsageLocation “IL”

• The next step will be to assign the license :

Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName idit@Domain.com | Set-MsolUserLicense -AddLicenses Domain:ENTERPRISEPACK

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Assign license to multiple users with a powershell script Sometimes you need to assign licenses to multiple users , in this case you can do it with a very simple PowerShell script This script will :

· import the users from a csv file (which you create) ,

· provide the location

· assign the license

So the first thing you need to do is to add the Users UPN  of the users to a Csv file In the header of the table write– display Foe example : Copy the following Lines to a Text file an save it as .SP1 $licenses = Import-Csv c:\temp\users.csv $licenses | ForEach-Object {get-msoluser  -MaxResults 20 -SearchString $_.display | Set-MsolUser -UsageLocation “IL”} $licenses | ForEach-Object {get-msoluser  -MaxResults 20 -SearchString $_.display | Set-MsolUserLicense –AddLicenses  Domain:ENTERPRISEPACK} (Don’t forget to run the script with the Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell) Remove license to multiple users with a powershell script ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Create the csv file for the users you want to delete the license . again , write display in the header of the table on the Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell type: 1. $licenses = Import-Csv d:\users1.csv 2. $licenses | ForEach-Object {get-msoluser – MaxResults 1000 -SearchString $_.display | Set-MsolUserLicense –RemovedLicenses Domain:ENTERPRISEPACK}     ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Add license to all users without license

Import-Module MSOnline Connect-MsolService Get-MsolUser -all | where {-not $_.islicensed} |ForEach-Object{

Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -UsageLocation “IL”

Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -AddLicenses “Domain:ENTERPRISEPACK

}

________________________________________________________________________________________

Remove specific license

Connect-MsolService

$license= “Domain:ENTERPRISEPACK”

get-MsolUser -all | Where-Object {$_.Licenses.AccountSkuID -eq $license}|ForEach-Object{

Set-MsolUserLicense –UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName –RemoveLicenses “$license”

Write-host $_.UserPrincipalName

}

__________________________________________________

Export list of all users with license:

Get-MSOLUser -All | select userprincipalname,islicensed,{$_.Licenses.AccountSkuId}| Export-CSV D:\userlist3.csv -NoTypeInformation
