   [-LicenseOptions <LicenseOption[]>]
   [-AddLicenses <String[]>]

   [-TenantId <Guid>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Set-MsolUserLicense cmdlet updates the license assignment for a user. This can include adding a new license, removing a license, updating the license options, or any combination of these actions.

Examples

Example 1: Add a license to a user

PS C:\> Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName "davidchew@contoso.com" -AddLicenses "Contoso:ENTERPRISEPACK"

This command adds the Office 365 for Enterprises license to the user.

Example 2: Remove a license from a user

PS C:\> Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName "davidchew@contoso.com" -RemoveLicenses "contoso:ENTERPRISEPACK"

This command removes the Office 365 for Enterprises license from the user. This may result in the user's data being removed from each service.

Example 3: Replace one license with another

PS C:\> Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName "davidchew@contoso.com" -AddLicenses "contoso:DESKLESS" -RemoveLicenses "contoso:ENTERPRISEPACK"

This command replaces the Office 365 for Enterprises license with an Office 365 Deskless license. These changes are made in one single operation. Therefore, the user does not end up in an intermediate state where the Office 365 for Enterprises license is removed without Office 365 Deskless being added.
