Assigning Licenses to Users

You can assign named licenses to specific users. The user has exclusive access to this license, but cannot use licenses from the Site Pool. The user must use this license for thirty days. After thirty days, the license assignment can be removed from the user. Also, when a named license is assigned to a user, you have one hour to remove the assignment.
