Changing licenses?

Maybe this exists, but I have a feeling it doesn't?

Got Minecraft Education for my 7th graders this term to try out while in Distance Learning.  It's looking like Term 2 which is coming up will probably be Distance Learning as well.

Am I able to have the licenses that my current students have transferred to my next set of 7th graders?  I know 5 dollars a license doesn't seem like much, but if I'd have to buy ~100 of those each term (~300 total) then it won't be practical for my department to keep using the program.

  E A great questions - you should just be able to give the accounts to the next round of students. You can accomplish this by changing the password for instance. Did you create the accounts with the student name or something generic?

  Thank you for getting licenses for your students!

  My school's technology department set them up.  I'm not fully sure how they set them up, but I think it was setting them to each of the individual student's account as for them to log in they just had to use their school e-mail and school PW.

  Hi there E A. In this case, you can contact your IT administrator to remove the license from the student accounts and reassign said license to the new student's accounts. More information can be found here:

  I hope this helps!
