How long does the Enterprise License last?

Until there is a request for the license to be removed or downgraded.  In rare instances when our license count is low, we may run a report to determine if a Zoom account has been inactive for 6+ months and may downgrade to a free account to allow licenses to be repurposed

How are MGB users notified that their license expired?

Licenses do not expire, once a license has been assigned, it will remain until a request is made to remove it.

Is there a way to tell if an account has been downgraded to Basic due to license expiration?

Licenses don’t expire, but a user can always log into their Zoom account at www.zoom.us to determine if they have a basic (free) or licensed (paid) account under account overview.
