Hello Yoga,
Thanks for your question.
No, AD groups cannot directly be used to manage licenses for applications with manual license provisioning.
While AD groups can't manage manual license provisioning, you can can create groups and allow the app licenses to members of that group. You can also use dynamic groups to set license assignments based on specific criteria of group membership
