Assigning a different license to Avaya Spaces users

Last Updated : Jun 05, 2026 |

About this task

Use this procedure to assign licenses of another type to enterprise users registered on Avaya Spaces. You can assign a new license to a single user or to multiple users at the same time.

Avaya Aura® Device Services notifies you if the license that you want to assign to a user has expired or is expiring soon. You can assign a license to a user even if the license has expired. In this case, the Essential license will be assigned to the user.

If a user has a Trial license of any type assigned, you can assign either a Business or Power license to the user. You cannot assign an Essential license to a user with a Trial license.

If you assign a Business or Power license to a user with an Essential or Trial license, you can cancel this operation from the Assign License page until Avaya Aura® Device Services assigns a new license to the user. In this case, the user’s status is displayed as UDPATE_CANCELLED on the View and Manage page.

You cannot assign a new license to a user that belongs to a LDAP group, which is configured for automatic registration of group users. You also cannot assign a new license to a user created on Avaya Spaces. To assign a new license to a user created on Avaya Spaces, use the Avaya Spaces web administration portal.

You cannot assign new licenses when Avaya Aura® Device Services synchronizes data with an LDAP server or Avaya Spaces or performs the Avaya Spaces user audit.

Procedure

  6. Click Save.
  7. In the Confirm Action window, click OK.

Result

Avaya Aura® Device Services starts the update process and displays the update status in the Status column. Depending on the number of users, the update process might take several minutes to complete.
