Manage License-based Assets

Programatically add or remove licenses for your Google Workspace or Office 365 subscriptions

Customers with active Google Workspace or Microsoft Office 365 subscriptions can provision additional licenses for their domains. Customers on flexible (not annual) subscriptions can also decrease the number of their licenses.

Assets API is a programmatic way to increase or decrease your Google Workspace, or Microsoft Office 365 licenses with an easy to use RESTful API.

assets.patch

Update the asset to have more or fewer licenses. While you can always add more licenses, you won't be able to decrease the number of licenses for annual/commitment subscriptions.

Sample assets.patch Request:

curl --location --request PATCH 'https://api.doit.com/billing/v1/assets/g-suite-1834534158' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer your-api-key' \
--data-raw '"quantity": 855'

❗️

How to use licenseQty parameter

Quantity in the scope of assets.patch means how many licences you'd like your subscription to have AFTER a successful patch operation. For example, if your subscription has 850 licenses and you set the quantity to 855, you're effectively adding 5 licenses.
