Zoom Workplace migration guide for admins
Account admins who have upgraded their account to a Zoom Workplace account with multiple bundled Zoom products may need to take additional steps to facilitate an account migration that goes as smoothly as possible, helping to ensure their users continue to be provisioned with the correct licenses for Zoom Meetings, Webinars, Whiteboards, Phone, and more. The following guide provides information on how Zoom account admins can prepare for their upcoming account migration, what they can expect from their newly provisioned account, and how to address common issues that may come up.

Depending on what new Zoom products and features your account will have access to, admins should consider if they want these to be available for the entire account, specific user groups, or even specific users. Depending on the feature, these may be controlled through account-level and group-level settings, or license assignments.
Note: License assignments are more common with other add-ons not automatically available with these bundles, such as Large Meeting add-ons and Zoom Revenue Accelerator licenses, as these accounts provide one bundled license to assign to each user. Accounts not bundling Zoom products would require each additional purchased add-on to be also assigned to the users they are intended for, such as assigning individual Webinar add-on licenses.
Required tasks ahead of the account migration
Ahead of your upcoming migration, the date of which should be communicated by your Zoom Account Executive, we require the following actions:
These serve as a snapshot of your account and user provisioning, acting as a reference to help ensure your account is provisioned as expected and as a backup in case of migration issues. Please ensure that an admin on your account performs these actions ahead of your scheduled account provisioning.
Required tasks after account provisioning
General tasks
Once the provisioning is complete, admins should review the Users page and confirm that all license types that were to be added or removed are properly assigned or removed. This is best done by comparing the exported list of users and their provisioned licenses with the current list of users and their assignments.
Next, if admins have any users that were not automatically provisioned with the new bundled license, such as a user with the Basic license, Zoom Phone-only users, or multiple different regional calling plans on the account, they should assign the appropriate Zoom Workplace bundle license to unlicensed users (if needed) and update existing users with incorrect assignments.
Note: There are also some specific considerations for accounts with mix and match calling plans for Zoom Phone, which are detailed below.
SSO-related tasks
If your account utilizes Single-Sign On (SSO) to provision meeting licenses, Zoom recommends checking your SAML mapping to confirm that the bundle license is visible and selected for the appropriate mapping(s).
Additionally, if your account now has both Zoom Workplace Business and Zoom Workplace Business Plus licenses/plans, additional SAML mapping logic must be added to properly compensate for and support the mix-and-match license assignments based on IDP (Identity Provider) attributes.
Note: For all other Zoom Workplace bundles (Enterprise and Enterprise Plus), SAML mapping for License type can simply remain as Licensed and the appropriate license bundle will be automatically provisioned. Thus, SAML mappings do not necessarily need to be remapped, but should still be checked to confirm accurate and intended provisioning.
Zoom Phone tasks
Migrations to these account types generally involve configuring Zoom Phone for the first time, maintaining an existing Zoom Phone configuration, or provisioning additional or existing users with the appropriate new license for Phone. The most common situations are as follows:
- New to Zoom Phone
This situation is for existing customers without Zoom Phone service and is the easiest to handle with regards to the account migration, as users will be assigned the bundle license that includes Zoom Phone, but will not be able to use Zoom Phone until an admin configures it for the account. This gives admins additional time after the migration to plan, configure, and deploy Zoom Phone on their account, especially if IVRs, call routing, and call queues are needed. Admins will choose if phone number and extension assignments are automatic or manually set by admins. - Existing Zoom Phone customers
Accounts with existing Zoom Phone deployments are handled differently depending on how their Zoom Phone packages change. By default, Automatic Phone Assignment for Zoom One Licenses is disabled, meaning licenses and phone numbers are not automatically assigned for all users (with some specific exceptions detailed below), but automatic assignment can be enabled by admins through account settings.
Below are a few nuanced situations that can occur for customers with existing Zoom Phone packages already in use:
- If users…
- have a Zoom Phone license that does correlate to the incoming Bundle license, they will automatically be assigned the new license to avoid service disruptions.
- Unless changes need to be made, admins should have nothing additional to do for these users.
- have a Zoom Phone license that does not correlate to the incoming bundle license, such as a Metered Calling license or other stand-alone calling plans, they will continue to have that license assigned to them, as long as that license is still active for the account.
- Unless these licenses are removed from the account, admins should have nothing additional to do for these users.
- have no Zoom Phone license, they will be placed in the Zoom Phone Pending tab and will be unaware of any Zoom Phone service until a Zoom Phone number and extension is assigned.
- If a la carte Zoom Phone packages…
- are canceled as part of the new provisioning, admins will have a 14-day grace period after the provisioning date.
- are being reduced in quantity, such as reducing from 10 to 3 licenses, admins will have a grace period after the provisioning date.
- If common area phones are in use, admins will also need to re-assign common area phones with the new bundled license.
