A city HR offboarding checklist finishes for a departed inspector, but the Microsoft 365 license is still assigned to that account. What license-management step frees the seat for reuse?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When someone leaves, the seat does not magically jump to the next hire. Unassign the license from the old account and you can hand that same entitlement to someone who still needs it.
Full Explanation
License management includes reclaiming entitlements when users leave so purchased seats are not stranded on inactive accounts. Unassigning a Microsoft 365 license returns capacity that another municipal employee can use. Tenant deletion, Conditional Access changes, and mailbox type changes are separate concerns and do not replace deliberate license reassignment hygiene.
