i dont understand why, i cannot assign my license, 

i can unassign, but after that i cannot assign again, 

is there something wrong?

my license is still more then 10, but i cannot assign to mw account, 

now, i cannot assign the license, and all my account turn to basic, 

and zoom want me to buy more lisence for me to can assign? 

im still missing the point here,

and add other account, 

ok, now in my admin have to account, 

i try to assign and unassign,

so how do i assign new account? i have to buy more and more and more again? 

and after this, how can i assign?

Guys, I think nothing will be solved. Most of the users (me as well) received the same standard reply from tech support: 

 

Note: Sharing meeting licenses among multiple users is a violation of Zoom’s Terms of service. Per section 1.2 Prohibition on Sharing:
 

You may not share an account, Host rights, or any other user rights with any other individual, unless otherwise expressly pre-approved by Zoom in writing. You may not share any login credentials or passwords regarding the foregoing with any other individual. You acknowledge that sharing of any such rights is strictly prohibited. Your right to use or access the Services and Software is personal to you and not assignable or transferable. You may not assign or transfer any account, Host rights, or any other user rights with any other individual, except upon (i) an individual termination of employment or relationship with their employer, as applicable, or (ii) Zoom’s prior express written approval.

 

This Terms of Service agreement, (which most of us agreed to without reading during the recent update), is effective from March the 31st, approximately when the problems started. So, it's just a company policy, it's not a bug. I don't like this way to treat the customers, making significant changes in functionality without proper warning, so I decided to cancel my subscriptions.

Thanks for contacting Zoom Support!
 
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with re-assigning Zoom One or Zoom Meeting licenses. Sharing meeting licenses among multiple users is a violation of Zoom’s Terms of Service.

I am having the same problem. We are not trying to share licenses and have even tried to buy more licenses (as per your link) just to be able to start using zoom with the HOPE (not holding my breath) that we can be refunded for the licenses did not need later.  Put in a help ticket and crickets 72 hours later.  Any body have any other luck? My best guess if section 1.2 is the reason for the issue, detection has been automated and the automation is flagging accounts that are not in violation (maybe because we tried to get everything setup and working on a single computer?)  We even tried inviting/adding a user that had a license to our group and the license was lost (reverted to BASIC) on both sides.

 

We just need to be able to create meetings using a single user (integration w/ Acuity Scheduling) and allow the meeting host to be handed off to another user when necessary.

I’m having the same issue A we’re you able to zoom assigning licensing to work?

Ok, I think this might help anyone who sees this page. I was finally able to assign my licenses. To keep it short I will not go into all the details I have not tested you (or misunderstanding on how the subscriptions worked), but since I had 3 users, I had to pay for 3 pro licenses. Problem solved. Guess it make sense.

 

We do not need 3 pro licenses, so now I have to figure out how to change the owner (dummy BASIC account just setup to the IT guy could manage the users).  My guess is I will have to delete the account and start over. 

 

Side note - I have not tested it yet, the two user users that with actually have meetings needed admin access and the owner has admin by default, my guess is you may be able to add members w/ BASIC. Seems like there would be no reason to assign licenses if this was not the case. Makes since all the admins have to have the same license since they can share meetings. It just is not clear.

@robwaltersii 

buying more is not a solution that acceptable for all, not all using zoom is rich people, in my case is, i just need 1, why would i buy 2? this is already a SCAM, when the admin itself don't want to help me to assign the license, 

and now, i just want to have my money back, because i just need 1, for my meeting, and zoom cannot give me that, in the LAW,  if buy something you have to get something, if not, its just a SCAM, if you buy License, and accidentally un assign because your phone error, or because wrong email, because anything, zoom CS, HAVE to Help user to ASSIGN  to the main email, but they DONT, and they just want you to BUY,

Всем привет!

Столкнулись с такой же проблемой. Вот ответ:

 

Причина, по которой вам не разрешено передавать лицензию другому пользователю, заключается в том, что эта лицензия была назначена и удалена от одного пользователя к другому, что является нарушением Условий обслуживания Zoom.
 
В соответствии с разделом 1.2 Запрет на совместное использование: вы не можете делиться учетной записью, правами хоста или любыми другими правами пользователя с любым другим лицом, если иное прямо не одобрено Zoom в письменной форме. Вы не можете передавать какие-либо учетные данные для входа или пароли в отношении вышеизложенного любому другому лицу. Вы признаете, что передача любых таких прав строго запрещена. Ваше право на использование или доступ к Услугам и Программному обеспечению принадлежит вам лично и не может быть передано или передано. Вы не можете назначать или передавать какую-либо учетную запись, права хоста или любые другие права пользователя любому другому лицу, за исключением (i) индивидуального прекращения трудовых отношений или отношений с его работодателем, в зависимости от обстоятельств, или (ii) предварительного явного письменного согласия Zoom. .
 
Если для использования вами сервисов Zoom требуются дополнительные лицензии для соблюдения требования Zoom о наличии одного пользователя на лицензию, вы можете посетить страницу выставления счетов на веб-портале Zoom, чтобы приобрести дополнительные лицензии.

Same problem here... So, what's the idea to reasing licence to users feature if its against the "rules" is scam, really, I have oqne licence unassigned and I can't assing, this is scam I will not pay an extra dolar to solve it.

Zoom is doing everything wrong. First, the article Zoom is referring to is about sharing an account, not sharing a license between users. So the interpretation of the rule is up to Zoom, and as users, we cannot complain. Second, many of us have one license to use for our work team, and Zoom made a unilateral decision. Third, if they apply their own rule, it's a misinterpretation, as they have the feature to change the assigned license to others.

The consequences are as follows:

Owners of Pro licenses are hijacked until we pay for another account.

We were victims of an authoritarian regime of a company who acts as the judge and the party.

We have no right to complain.

We didn't receive warnings or any indication of the decision.

We paid for something, but it was illegally denied.

As for how to solve this, I have no ideas at the moment
