@Julio César González Montaño Thanks for reaching out.

AAD group based licensing only supports security groups (on cloud, or synced from on-prem), and Microsoft 365 groups that have securityEnabled=TRUE.
It has to be assigned or dynamic USER security group.

So you can filter out non security and device group from your list.

Also here is a known limitation of AAD group based licensing : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/enterprise-users/licensing-group-advanced#limitations-and-known-issues
