Assign licenses
Windows 365 licenses must be assigned before users can use a Cloud PC.
Before a user can use a Cloud PC, you must assign a Windows 365 license to that user. You can assign the licenses using any of these methods:
- Microsoft 365 admin center for individual users. For steps on how to use admin center to assign licenses, see Assign licenses to users.
- Microsoft Entra admin center for group license assignments. For more information about group license assignments, see Assign licenses to users by group membership in Microsoft Entra ID.
- To assign direct licenses to a list of individual users, see Assign licenses for Windows 365 or see Assign license to perform through Graph.
Licenses for Windows 365 Frontline are assigned to your tenant and shared across Cloud PCs provisioned in dedicated mode and shared mode. The licenses are assigned by selecting a Microsoft Entra group during the creation of provisioning policies.
