Set-MgUserLicense Error message

Question

I have been trying to get Set-MgUserLicense to work for days now but every time I run this script I get this error message.

Set-MgUserLicense : One or more parameters of the operation 'assignLicense' are missing from the request payload. The missing parameters are: removeLicenses

I have not changed anything with my script, it just stopped working. Is there an issue with Set-MgUserLicense? I really need to get this working again as it is vital to how we work and assign new users licenses.

Thanks

Hi Kathryn Anderson,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft!

The error message you’re encountering with Set-MgUserLicense indicates that the removeLicenses parameter is missing from the request payload. When using this cmdlet, both -AddLicenses and -RemoveLicenses parameters need to be explicitly provided, even if one of them is empty.

If you don’t have any licenses to remove, please try including the -RemoveLicenses @() parameter in your command and check if it resolves the issue.

You can refer to the relevant documentation for more details: Set-MgUserLicense

Hope this helps.
