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.

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.
