See the assignment date of a license

Is there a way to show, when a user have received a license in the Admin Center?


In my case, we adding the user in a AD group and with process in the background the user will be adding automatically to the Office 365 AD group. But currently I don´t now, which user have received the last available licenses.


I have used powershell, but I could only see which license the user have, not when the license have assigned.

  • You can check the assignment date via the Azure AD PowerShell module:

     

    [23:03:55][Login script]# (Get-AzureADUser -SearchString HuKu).AssignedPlans

      his looks like exactly what i want but I am not understanding how to use your command. If I just type this into PS it does not error - but nothing returns

      (Get-AzureADUser -SearchString HuKu).AssignedPlans

      Hi there!

      I hope "reopening" this topic is okay! The provided solution is exactly what I'm looking for, however, it does not work for me. The "AssignedPlans" parameter is not available. If I try to apply it to a user object, it returns just an empty line. Example:

      PS C:\Users> (Get-AzADUser -UserPrincipalName fname.lname@domain.com).AssignedPlans
      
      PS C:\Users>

       

      If I run the following command, I get all assigned licenses for the same user, so the command above should return at least something. The .Licenses parameter is useful, but it does not solve my problem regarding the timestamp of the assignment. 

      PS C:\Users> (Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName fname.lname@domain.com).Licenses
      ExtensionData: ...
      AccountSku: ...
      AccountSkuId: ...
      GroupsAssigningLicense: ...
      ServiceStatus: ...

       

      Is the ".AssignedPlans" parameter possibly superseded or are my Azure AD rights not sufficient for displaying the data?

       

      Is there another way to get the timestamp of license assignments except for checking the audit logs (since some assignments are older than 30 days).

      Some additional PowerShell information:

      Script     2.1.0      Az.Resources

      Many thanks in advance!

        I figured it out: My problem was that I used the "Get-AzADUser" cmdlet instead of the "Get-AzureADUser" cmdlet, which has been described by Vasil. I did not know that those two are different until now.

         

        Thanks anyway and best regards!

      Hi Vasil,

      What happen if we want to know the assignment date of a license without service plans?

      (Like for example Advanced Threat protection)

        For that you will have to check the Azure AD Audit logs.

  • I would look into audit logs in Security and Compliance, or Azure AD. Also, in the adoption pack of Office 365 for Power BI. in Office 365 Admin portal -> Reports -> usage

      Can you please send over the license assignments for the last 30 days for these products?

       

      Microsoft 365 F3 and Microsoft 365 F5 Security + Compliance Add-on license.
