MS Graph - Assign license to user

Question

I am assigning Microsoft 365 E3 whose SKU is "05e9a617-0261-4cee-bb44-138d3ef5d965 " using assignLicense API.

This works fine sometime but sometime I am getting this error :

'message': 'Subscription with SKU 05e9a617-0261-4cee-bb44-138d3ef5d965 does not have any available licenses.

Let me know, why this is happening & what needs to be taken care while using this API.

Here is the API :

POST - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{userPricipalName}/assignLicense

body :

{
"addLicenses": [
{
"skuId": "05e9a617-0261-4cee-bb44-138d3ef5d965"
}
],
"removeLicenses": [ ]
}

Hi @Ayan Usmani ,
Per my test, before using the API, you must have the relevant license in your tenant that you can see in AD.

Then you can use the List subscribedSkus API: GET /subscribedSkus to list the license that you have subscribed to. You can check if the Sku: 05e9a617-0261-4cee-bb44-138d3ef5d965 is being subscribed. And the skuId property can be used to assign license.

I tested it locally and then made it run successfully by adding the disabledPlans property, the value of which is the servicePlanId in the response of the /subscribedSkus endpoint.

Hope this helps. Wish you all the best.

I had fetched the details of license and I can see that we have license with skuID - 05e9a617-0261-4cee-bb44-138d3ef5d965 .

But when I am trying to add the same license for another user it throws me the below error :

Do let me know what's going wrong over here.
