Problem getting script for changing office licences in BULK to work. (Script from Microsoft site)

Question

Hi.

We are working on getting the script found at how-to-change-office-365-licenses-in-bulk-respecting-the-license-options
to work for our needs.

When we initialy ran the script nothing happened, but after some editing
we have gotten the script to work using the line: Get-MsolUser -Title "teacher" -SearchString "specific user" -MaxResults 5000 | Where-Object { $.isLicensed -eq "TRUE" } instead of the
Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $member -MaxResults 5000 | Where-Object { $.isLicensed -eq "TRUE" } line
while commenting out every other line concerning $groupMember and $users

What we are trying to do is to have all users belonging to a spesific Office 365 Unified Group change license from a type of office license to another type of office license. The license name in the code is only for testing. When everything works we are going to change from Office 365 A1 license to Office 365 A3 license for students for all users belonging
to spesific Office 365 Unified Groups.

Is there a way to get this script to work with a little editing or is there some powershell commands with Get-UnifiedGroup that can be used in this script?

Here is a copy of our edited script:

We have this working. The solution was to add .EmailAddress to:
Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $member.EmailAddress -MaxResults 5000 | Where-Object { $_.isLicensed -eq "TRUE"
