Hello,
From the research I've done thus far, I cannot find any way to determine (without being logged into the Office 365 portal as the user) which computers a user has installed their 5 available copies of the Office ProPlus applications. This is an E4 Enterprise implementation of the product and since users have the ability to allocate these 5 installs as they see fit, we don't see anyway to prevent users from removing their work PCs/laptops from their subscription (accidentally of course). Or if they are sharing their credentials with family members, how to keep them from using all their licenses and not having the ability to unlicense remote computers that we don't have access/contact information for.
I can't believe I'm the first person to raise the concern that as Administrators the only way we can take back control of the allocation would be to change the user's password and then log into the portal as them to remove the unauthorized (or accidentally allocated) copies of the software.
Is there another way to manage this for all users as a Global Enterprise Admin? or a powershell script to at least determine which computers all users have currently allocated installs to?
I've been sent to the PowerShell forum by the Office 365 Community blogs, who forwarded me to this forum.
Thanks for any input/guidance you might have. I'm hoping I just need to brush up on my internet forum search skills...
