AzureAD - User Licenses - Reprocess Programmatically

Henrique Carvalho 1

Hi,

I'm assigning O365 Licenses to my users via an AAD Group with License assignment on it.
I noticed that some times, it takes a while for the user to take the license.

The AAD user UI has a "Reprocess " option on licenses tab. How can I do this programmatically?

Note: I know I can do this programmatically at Group level, but since the group has thousands of users, I would prefer to trigger it at user level.

Many thanks,
DD

@Henrique Carvalho The API used for this is a hidden API and not publicly supported. A browser trace shows that the reprocess options uses following API for the call:

]1

API : https://main.iam.ad.ext.azure.com/api/AccountSkus/User/{userID}/Reprocess

You can use that against different users to perform the reprocess via something as PowerShell.

You should use a token for authentication.
