Zoom has a very powerful and easy to use platform for moving licences between accounts. Moving a licence day to day to different users only takes a few clicks. While it does add an extra minute of overhead to my schedule, it is something that is easily managed. I don't think that the licencing should be a deciding factor. I just want to properly inform the technical community of the differences between the platforms.
