In our case, we were needing to remove some licences from some users, as we had an educational licence, the names of the service plans and licenses were a bit different. So we had two ways of doing it: 1 was just to remove the service plans we didn't need. And the second was to remove the licence as a whole. You need to run this from within the Office 365 PowerShell console, here's a PowerShell script to help you connect quickly and easily:
1. Remove just some service plans So here, I'm going to remove the YAMMER_EDU and MCOSTANDARD (Lync) licences. $O365Licences = New-MsolLicenseOptions –AccountSkuId domainname:STANDARDWOFFPACK_STUDENT -DisabledPlans MCOSTANDARD,YAMMER_EDU Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName "fred.bloggs@domain.com" -LicenseOptions $O365Licences 2. Remove the licence from the user completely Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName "fred.bloggs@domain.com" -RemoveLicenses domain:STANDARDWOFFPACK_STUDENT; Now the licence or service plan should be removed, you can check this through the web interface of Office365 admin. |
