Quickly license your team.
Go to Admin Console > Overview > Add Users. For each user, enter email, select product, and save.

You can assign a product license through the following:

Before you begin

Check license availability. Go to Admin Console > Overview. Under Products and services, and check whether licenses are available for the product. Otherwise, purchase more licenses, or unassign from other users.

Ensure that you assign to the correct user. Go to Admin Console > Users. Review details of users to avoid a wrong assignment. If a user isn't added, or their name/email is incorrect, add the user, or edit user details.

For license reassignment, unassign, then reassign. Before reassigning a license to another user, unassign it from the present user. Then, assign the license to the desired user.
