Assigning and managing licenses on devices
Business Partners and administrators can assign licenses to devices during device enrollment. You can assign licenses to individual devices or in bulk to multiple devices. The licenses are assigned to one device at a time by using the Change license entitlements workflow. You can also hide a device and revoke licenses from a device. To assign or revoke licenses in bulk mode, use Bulk assign licenses and Bulk revoke licenses workflows to upload a CSV file that has the Device IDs.
