Confirm License Availability

Following a recent upgrade request or service cancellation, it is possible you may have suspended licenses on the account that are erroneously shown as available in the user license dropdown. Alternatively, you may have technically available licenses currently assigned to deactivated users. To review and correct for this possibility, click here.

Cause

Extension Conflict

8x8 Admin Console is suggesting a user extension that is already in use by another Contact Center user, which is blocking the settings from being saved. This can happen if:

  • A Contact Center user has not successfully been removed from the Contact Center when the license was removed from them in 8x8 Admin Console or
  • A Contact Center extension number change has not successfully completed.

License Availability

Suspended licenses that are stuck on the account after a cancellation or upgrade request are causing that license type to appear in the dropdown menu. Suspended licenses are not allowed to be assigned to users.

Alternatively, technically available licenses may currently be assigned to deactivated users.
