In reply to Andy Swiffin. I asked Alex Simons about this recently. The answer from his team is that work is still ongoing to finalize the new product license management platform. When that's done, they'll remove the P1 requirement.

Whatever happened to the “new license management platform” announced by Alex Simonds here:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-entra-azure-ad-blog/migrate-your-apps-to-access-the-license-managements-apis-from/ba-p/2464366

in which he says: “Group licensing will be extended. In the new licensing platform, Azure AD Premium or Office 365 E3 will no longer be required to use group-based licensing for license assignments”

In reply to JHH.

Do you mean that you don’t want to see the Set-MgUserLicense cmdlet output anything? If so, just assign the output to a variable:

$Status = Set-MgUserLicense -UserId “$($_.FirstName)@pbiclass.com” -Addlicenses @{SkuId = ‘3b555118-da6a-4418-894f-7df1e2096870’} -RemoveLicenses @()

BTW, I cover bulk assignment in https://practical365.com/bulk-license-assignment-with-the-microsoft-graph-powershell-sdk/

I have a script that pulls from a csv file where I create temp student accounts. I have the script create the account, then change the password, then add office license, then add PBI license. During each license phase assignment every piece of meta information about the account that was assigned a license is displayed. So, student 1 -10 shows me each account meta info and it happens twice since it runs through assigning one license then the other. Below is a snippet of the PBI assignment section (other license assignment section is the same). Looks the same as above in article other than the throttle control statement. Why would all that info be show after each assignment?

#Add Office License
$batchCount = 0
Import-Csv -Path .\PbiXX.csv |
ForEach-Object {
if ($batchCount -eq $batchSize){
Start-Sleep -Seconds $wait
$batchCount = 0
}
Set-MgUserLicense -UserId “$($_.FirstName)@pbiclass.com” -Addlicenses @{SkuId = ‘3b555118-da6a-4418-894f-7df1e2096870’} -RemoveLicenses @()

$batchCount++
}

In reply to zen. What's in $AddLicenses? What licenses are you attempting to assign?

Hi,
when I use this command:
Set-MgUserLicense -UserId $user.Id -AddLicenses $addLicenses -RemoveLicenses @()

I have this error:
Set-MgUserLicense : License assignment failed because service plans 63038b2c-28d0-45f6-bc36-33062963b498,0a4983bb-d3e5-4a09-95d8-b2d0127b3df5 are mutually exclusive Status: 400 (BadRequest)
