Hi @brandon7,

You can update a user’s license type (change from licensed to basic) using the `type` field under our Update User endpoint:

> **[Update a User - Users - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/userupdate)**
>
> Update information on a user's Zoom profile.
> Scopes: user:write:admin user:write
> 
> Rate Limit Label: Light
> 
> Authorization
> 
> Flow: authorizationCode
> 
> Auth...

Here is a sample code snippet in PHP/ext-curl:

```auto
<?php

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
  CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%7BuserId%7D",
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "PATCH",
  CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "{\"type\":\"integer\"}",
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
    "authorization: Bearer {token}",
    "content-type: application/json"
  ),
));

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
  echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
  echo $response;
}

```

Hope this helps!  
Will
