Error When Admin Assigns Seat to a User

There are certain cases that can prevent an admin from successfully delegating an "Adobe Acrobat Sign Solutions for Teams" seat to an end-user through the team admin console. A team admin might encounter an error like "The user cannot be assigned to this license. Learn more."

If you are getting this error, try delegating again using a different end-user email address, or Contact Support.
