upgrade, meeting cut short at 40 minutes even though I have the upgraded plan

Not thrilled that I had a meeting cut short, asking me to upgrade, even though my paid account is already upgraded until may 2023. 

Why did this happen?

      Thanks, Carla, Yes, it is my personal account and I was on a client call during a personal crisis moment of emotion and the call ended. 

      The other account that I have access to is a business account.

      Welcome to the Zoom Community, @mm2020.

      I'm going to make an assumption for a moment that you've recently upgraded your personal account from Basic (free) to Pro (Licensed).  If so, your situation happens a lot: you need to assign the License you purchased to your User Account.

       

      See this web page for assistance:

      https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115004976063-Assigning-a-License

       

      Follow these steps taken from the article:

        1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal at https://zoom.us.
        2. Click User Management, then Users.
        3. Locate or search for the user who you want to assign a license. There will likely only be your single account – click your account
        4. Click Edit at the end of the user row. This will open a window.
        5. Choose the User Type to assign, selecting Licensed.
        6. After choosing the User Type, use the drop down to select the license. There should be an indication that you have 1 available user license if you have indeed purchased one or more new licenses. Click the available license.
        7. (Optional) Assign add-ons can be included by checking the boxes for the add-on. You will not likely have any add-ons, so you might skip this step.
        8. Click Save.

      The license is now applied to your user account and you can use it immediately.

        Old Desert Lizard, this did not help me at all. I upgraded recently, but the account is always Basic. If I go to User Management and then Users, it is asking to upgrade again. Really ridiculous as someone pointed out. I got cut off multiple times. It is so embarrassing

        Contact Zoom Billing for support; they can see the details on your account and either fix it on the back end or advise you exactly what to do.

         

        Because this is a public forum, we do not handle billing related questions here. Please submit a support ticket to the Zoom Billing team here and they will be able to assist you.

        Being in the correct account isn’t really enough. Did you follow the 8 steps above to ensure your account had the license assigned to it?

         

        If so, and you are still experiencing this issue, you need to contact Zoom Support for assistance:

        Hello, 

         

         This may have more to do with scheduling your meetings than with the licensing, especially if you are sure that your licensing is correct. 

         

        I have worked with customers in the past in which we had to clear cookies (browsing history) and re-integrate calendar integration with the correct account; Then, they could finally utilize their licensed account over their previous understanding. I see this often with people with multiple accounts; one has a pro license, and the other is basic. 

         

        My recommendation is to remove the basic account unless you absolutely need it; otherwise, log out of the primary account, clear your cookies and browsing history so that your cached credentials are not stored in your browser, and make sure that if you schedule meetings via calendar integration that your paid account email address is the one that is integrated with your calendaring. 

         

        @CarlaA, if I can help these people in any way, please let me know how I can help. 

         

        Regards,

        Brandon
