Removing non-enrolled users to save up on license cost

A license will be assigned to every user after successful authentication into ADSelfService Plus regardless of the users' enrollment status.  Below are the possible scenarios when a non-enrolled user takes up a license:

1. A user logs into the self-service user portal but decides to complete the enrollment later.
2. Password Policy Enforcer is enabled for native password reset (through ADUC) and change (through Windows login screen) using the password sync agent.

When these users consume the license, other users who have legitimate reasons to access the product for password resets or finishing MFA authentication for endpoint logins may not be able to do so if there are not enough licenses. To prevent this, periodically check the Licensed Users Report and remove the licenses consumed by non-enrolled users.

Steps to revoke licenses consumed by non-enrolled users
  1. Log into ADSelfService Plus admin console.
  2. Go to Reports -> Enrollment Reports -> Licensed Users Report.
  3. Select a Domain and select Not-Enrolled Users from the Filter drop-down.
  4. Click Generate.
  5. Once the report is generated, select the users and click Delete.
