Devices become un-managed after licenses were re-assigned
Hi,
I recently experienced an issue where devices became un-managed after the associtated user lost their Intune license. I've spoken to Microsoft who confirms that this is expected behavior. In conclusion the affected users had to re-enroll their devices, even though the Intune license was re-assigned before the Company Portal was opened.
Anyone have experience upgrading from an EM+S E3 plan to an EM+S E5 for example? Will users have to re-enroll even if they're assigned an E5 license before the E3 license is removed?
Hi Ali,
I changed users from E3 to E5 without any impact. I assigned the new E5 license and then removed the E3 license. This went without any problems for me.
best,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
Thanks for your reply.
I tested this myself and used the MSOL Powershell module in order to do this.
Foreaching through the users with the following command seemed to work perfectly!
Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $User.UserPrincipalName -RemoveLicenses <E3 License SKUID> -AddLicenses <E5 License SKUID>
