Introduction

Managing Microsoft 365 non-profit premium donation licenses requires careful handling to ensure compliance and service continuity. This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough for identifying and reassigning these licenses efficiently.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure that you have the necessary admin access in Microsoft 365 Admin Center and a fundamental understanding of PowerShell commands.

  • Admin access to M365 Admin Center
  • Basic knowledge of PowerShell
  • Azure Active Directory configured

Initial Setup

Start by setting up your environment. Ensure that your PowerShell module for Azure AD is the latest version. The following command checks your current module version:

Install-Module -Name AzureAD

Identifying Donated Licenses

Locate users with donated licenses using both the Admin Center and PowerShell.

Get-MsolUser -All | Where-Object {$_.Licenses.AccountSkuId -match "NONPROFIT"}

Reassigning Licenses

Reassign licenses systematically to eligible users. Use the following command to update user license assignments:

Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName [email protected] -AddLicenses "yourdomain:NONPROFIT"

Validation and Confirmation

After reassignment, validate that all users have correct access. Use the Admin Center to review active licenses under Users > Active Users.

Troubleshooting and Common Issues

If you experience issues during the reassignment process, consider these troubleshooting steps:

  • Ensure accurate user details in Azure AD.
  • Verify that the SKU ID matches the correct non-profit license type.
  • Consult the Microsoft support documentation if errors persist.
