Error: “License cannot be assigned to a user without a usage location specified.”

Symptom:

Resolution:

The reason for the error is some Microsoft offerings are not available in specific regions because of local laws and restrictions. So unless you specify a usage location for the user, you cannot assign those license offerings which are region specific.

How do I set the location of the user? Open the user record in Azure Portal > Users. Select the user account (click o the name/record to open the detail view). Click on ‘Properties‘ tab and then select edit. Scroll down to the location field and select the country/region. 

Now that you have set the Usage Location, you can now add your license assignments.
