Update a license assigned to a user to add more enabled plans
Reflecting on Harm_Veenstra's first post, if you have more than a handful of users, you're better off:
- Adopting a group-based licencing model; then
- Confirm the users are receiving the group-assigned licencing; then
- Remove the directly-assigned licencing (starting with individuals before moving to an automated, batch-processing approach.)
Continuing with the current direct assignment model only ensures this problem will come up again in the future.

Hello Harm_Veenstra
Thank you for your reply.
The thing is that the users already have a licence assigned directly to them.
Is there a way to assign the license again with all apps included for all users wirth powershell? I want to make sure all users have all apps and it seems that some doesn't.
The licenses are Office 365 E3 and Office 365 E5.
Thank you.
- For the licensed groups, that doesn't matter but.. You don't have P1 for the users, so that's not an option...
- The licenses were assigned by a 3rd party app (Quest on Demand) and it only applied exo and left all others apps to assign. I manually enabled all other apps but it seems i missed some users. I want to apply them all over again to make sure all apps are selected.
