Today I am writing about How to Delete Remove Former Employee’s License on Office 365, this is very important part of Office 365 Admin. If any of Employee has left your organization then we don’t need to pay for a License after they left. What basically we need to do is just we remove license from the user before deleting User account from Office 365. We have to an option of assigning the same license to another user and to continue with same services.
Below are the steps to configure the same:
- Make sure you have admin rights, then sign in with your Office 365 global admin account
- Now go to Office 365 Admin center and select users which you wish to remove or use the same subscription for other users.
- Now, select the name of employee you want to delete and then select Edit next to Product License from user details Pop-up
- Now click on edit for Go to Product licenses pane and slide the license indicator making to Off position
- Once done click on save button to save the same. Now we can check License availability will be from 25 to 24, now the same license we can assign to other users.
- We can continue following these methods of license removal until you do not hire other persons to work with your group.
