Why would adding a global permission to an active user cause the system to ask to add a new license?

You must be over your license count from another user so editing any employee record will now trigger this alert

@MGBC we encountered that as well before. But why did it happen in the first place? Why were we able to save a new employee record with access that exceeds that license count?

Usually it’s because your licenses count changed with a recent renewal

That's the weird thing. Our license counts has not changed. But that's okay. Not the end of the world. Was just curious.

Do you use customer, vendor or employee access?

Employee

Same thing here. Employees only. I was able to get the edits done by scrubbing access from someone who hasn't logged in for sixty days.
