Using the script, you can assign Microsoft 365 (Office 365) licenses based on their availability. For example, you can try assigning the Enterprise E5 license, and if there are no available E5 licenses, assign an Enterprise E3 one.
Parameters:
- $locationProperty - specifies a property of the user account that will be used as the user location in Microsoft 365 (Office 365). The value of the property must be represented by a two-letter country code per ISO 3166-1, for example, US or DE. The script will specify a location for a user only when creating a Microsoft 365 (Office 365) account. Locations of existing Microsoft 365 (Office 365) accounts will not be modified.
- $licenseSKUs - specifies the SKU Part Numbers of the license that should be assigned to the user. The script will attempt assigning the licenses exactly in the order you specify. The first license plan in the list that has at least 1 free license will be assigned to a user, and the rest of the list will be ignored.
How to get the SKU Part Number of a license plan in Adaxes:
- In Adaxes Administration Console, expand the service node that represents your Adaxes service.
- Navigate to Configuration\Cloud Services and select Microsoft 365.
- Double-click the Microsoft 365 (Office 365) tenant to which the license belongs.
- Click the necessary license plan. The SKU Part Number is displayed below the Display Name field.

We are currently in a unique position where we have M365 E3/E5 seperated out into its separate skus and we now have had to purchase more of these licenses as we have more staff and they are combined.
So basically the question is, can we add a overflow license if no Office 365 E5 is available and then if no license is available assign an M365 E5 license?
As it is mentioned in the script description, the $licenseSKUs variable specifies the SKU Part Numbers of the licenses that should be assigned to the user. The script will attempt assigning the licenses exactly in the order you specify. The first license plan in the list that has at least one free license will be assigned to a user, and the rest of the list will be ignored. As such, all you need to do is populate the $licenseSKUs variable with the SKUs you need in the corresponding order.
