This article describes how to move users and groups between service license plans in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). The goal Azure AD's approach is to ensure that there's no loss of service or data during the license change. Users should switch between services seamlessly. The license plan assignment steps in this article describe changing a user or group on Office 365 E1 to Office 365 E3, but the steps apply to all license plans. When you update license assignments for a user or group, the license assignment removals and new assignments are made simultaneously so that users do not lose access to their services during license changes or see license conflicts between plans.

Before you begin

Before you update the license assignments, it's important to verify certain assumptions are true for all of the users or groups to be updated. If the assumptions aren't true for all of the users in a group, the migration might fail for some. As a result, some of the users might lose access to services or data. Ensure that:

  • Users have the current license plan (in this case, Office 365 E1) that's assigned to a group and inherited by the user and not assigned directly.

  • You have enough available licenses for the license plan you're assigning. If you don't have enough licenses, some users might not be assigned the new license plan. You can check the number of available licenses.

  • Users don't have other assigned service licenses that can conflict with the desired license or prevent removal of the current license. For example, a license from a service such as Workplace Analytics or Project Online that has a dependency on other services.

  • If you manage groups on-premises and sync them into Azure AD via Azure AD Connect, then you add or remove users by using your on-premises system. It can take some time for the changes to sync with Azure AD to be picked up by group licensing.

  • If you're using Azure AD dynamic group memberships, you add or remove users by changing their attributes, but the update process for license assignments remains the same.
