G Suite Lite (Deskless) licenses access

[Browlry]

I hope this isn't off-topic, but do you know if my G Suite Reseller can add G Suite Lite licenses via the Reseller API?

If not, do you know who he can contact at Google to get access to the G Suite Lite (Deskless) licenses?

Google Support has been giving us the runaround for a couple months now, so I was hoping there might be a way to get around this programmatically.

Here's what happens when I try to add a G Suite Lite license with GAM. I assume it doesn't work because GAM uses the Enterprise License Manager API and not the G Suite Reseller API; is that correct?

> gam user management update license gsuitelite from gsuitebasic
ERROR: 500: conditionNotMet - For reassign operation new sku should be different than the old sku :Google-Apps-For-Business

> gam user management update license Google-Apps-Lite from Google-Apps-For-Business
ERROR: 500: conditionNotMet - For reassign operation new sku should be different than the old sku :Google-Apps-For-Business

> gam user demo add license Google-Apps-Lite
User: demo@redacted.com, License: Google-Apps-Lite (G Suite Lite), Add Failed: There are not sufficient licenses for the specified product-sku pair

Based on that 3rd command it doesn't sound like your domain has G Suite Lite licenses available. In the admin console under Billing, do you see G Suite Lite listed? If you don't, GAM can't assign licenses to users that you don't have....

Error im getting:

C:\gamadv-xtd3>gam csv glite.csv gam user ~Email update license gsuitelite from gsuitebusiness

Anthony,

glite.csv in not encoded in UTF-8 but from the error is probably Windows latin1, try the following:

gam csv glite.csv charset latin1 gam user ~Email update license gsuitelite from gsuitebusiness
