# Assign or unassign a license
32
+
33
+
You can assign some licenses on [windows365.microsoft.com](https://windows365.microsoft.com). For full license management, use the [Microsoft 365 admin center](https://admin.microsoft.com).
34
+
35
+
1. Sign in to [windows365.microsoft.com](https://windows365.microsoft.com) with an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Global Administrator account.
36
+
2. Select **Your organization’s Cloud PCs**.
37
+
3. Select the user whose licenses you want to manage.
38
+
4. Select **Licenses and apps**.
39
+
5. Select licenses that you want to assign to the user, or deselect licenses that you want to unassign from the user.
40
+
6. Select **Save changes**.
41
+
- When you assign a Windows 365 license, Windows 365 will immediately begin creating a new Cloud PC for the user.
42
+
- When you unassign a Windows 365 license from a user, that user can still access their Cloud PC for 24 hours. After that time, the Cloud PC will be deleted.

# Change organizational default settings
32
+
33
+
By default, new Cloud PCs are created with the Windows 11 operating system and the Standard User account type. You can change these defaults by following these steps:
34
+
35
+
1. Sign in to [windows365.microsoft.com](https://windows365.microsoft.com) with an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Global Administrator account.
3. Select your preferred operating system and account type > **Save**.
38
+
39
+
Organization settings only apply to newly created Cloud PCs. When these settings are changed, they won’t change the OS or account type of existing Cloud PCs.
40
+
41
+
> [!NOTE]
42
+
> The 1 vCPU/2 GB RAM/64 GB storage license doesn’t support the Windows 11 minimum hardware requirements. When this license is assigned to a user, they will always receive a Windows 10 Cloud PC.

Sending outbound email messages directly on port 25 from a Windows 365 Business Cloud PC is not supported. Communication over port TCP/25 is blocked at the Windows 365 Business network layer for security reasons. If your email service uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) for your email client application, you can use their web interface, if available. Or you can ask your email service provider for help to configure their email client app to use secure SMTP over Transport Layer Security (TLS), which uses a different port.

68
+
69
+
**Change account type**: Change the role of a user on their Cloud PC. Options include Standard User and Local Administrator.

+
71
+

- Reinstalls Windows (with the option to choose between Windows 11 and Windows 10).
76
+
- Removes all apps and locally stored files.
77
+
- Removes changes made to settings.

+
**Restart**: Restart a user’s Cloud PC on their behalf.

+

84
+
85
+
To assign a Windows 365 Administrator role to a user:
86
+
87
+
1. Sign in to [windows365.microsoft.com](https://windows365.microsoft.com).
88
+
2. Select **Your organization’s Cloud PCs**.
89
+
3. Select the user whose Cloud PC you want to manage.
90
+
4. Select **Manage roles** > **Admin center access** > **Show all by category**.
