Assigning Zoom licenses
After purchasing new licenses from the Zoom Sales team or from the Billing page, you will need to assign them to users. Licenses can be assigned one at a time or in bulk. Licenses of the same type, such as Webinar and Large Meeting, do not compound or stack when multiple of the same type are assigned to a user.
This article covers:
Prerequisites for assigning licenses
- Account owner or admin privileges
- Unassigned licenses
Notes:
- Before a user can have a Large Meeting, Webinar, and/or Zoom Events add-on license, they will need to be Licensed (user type).
- Account owners and admins can assign both a Zoom Events license and a Zoom Webinars license to a user. Zoom Events capacity will be limited by the Zoom Events license. The capacity of scheduled webinars will be limited by the larger capacity of the Zoom Webinars license or Zoom Events license.
How to assign Zoom licenses
Note: If you receive an error message related to exceeding the limit of license assignment for your account, you will not be able to assign licenses at this time. The license assignment limit is based on the number of purchased licenses you have.
