Important to know
• An admin with billing permissions can add additional licenses to the contract through LinkedIn Admin Center. Learn more.• Choosing No License when managing a user's license and permissions won't remove the user. Admins can only remove a user by using the quick actions option in LinkedIn Admin Center.

Important considerations when managing license assignment
- The number of times a license can be assigned is subject to a set limit. The limit is based on the total number of licenses you have available and it resets on the first day of each calendar month.
- If you need to reverse a license assignment, add the original user of the license to your account. They will appear as a new user, and you can then reassign the license to them. All data from the original user and the current assignee will transfer to the original user. Keep in mind that you can only reverse a license assignment if you have available licenses.
- Once you approach or reach your license assignment limit, you’ll receive notification messages in LinkedIn Admin Center. For example:
- You have used 5 out of 5 available license assignments. The limit will reset on [date].
- You have used 4 out of 5 available license assignments. Completing this action will exhaust all license assignments until [date].
- You have used 3 out of 5 available license assignments.
