Hi @Anonymous,

 

The problem has been solved.

 

For your information, 
1. Activate on VLSC then manage the license will be direct to Office 365 (Admin account).
2. Assign the activation key on Office 365.
3. Assign license to user selected.
 
Thanks

The license should show up in the Office 365 Administration portal and you would assign it to the user there.
