Hi,
AFAIK, MS does not have any immediate plans to bring our licence management tools even though there are multiple uservoices open for licensing management improvements.
However, there is some good management tools on the Technet gallery such as
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Office365-License-cfd9489c
Which may make life easier.
Hope that helps
Best, Chris

/HS- Jul 29, 2019Hi Himanshu Singh,
Of course it may be possible. However, I would say that if there was a great need for this then Microsoft would already have it, or there would be a third party who would have already developed it. You would have some options here
1.) Investigate, and if possible, develop it yourself
2.) Reach out to third party provider - simply do a search in your browser and several third parties should appear
3.) Raise a Uservoice at https://office365.uservoice.com/
Note there are lots of uservoices open to improve licence management so there could already be one in there. I see there is also requests to manage licences via templates to make them more easily manageable
https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/273493-office-365-admin/suggestions/11513760-office-365-licencing-templates
However, despite all these ways to go, there does not appear to be a tool that you need that does this for free at the current time - not through Microsoft or via a Microsoft associated site such as the Technet Gallery.
