About automatic license synchronization

{% data reusables.enterprise-licensing.unique-user-licensing-model %}

{% data reusables.enterprise-licensing.about-license-sync %} For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

If you enable automatic user license sync for your enterprise, every week, {% data variables.product.prodname_github_connect %} will automatically synchronize license usage between {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} and your enterprise on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}{% ifversion ghecom-license-sync %} or {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_site %}{% endif %}. You can also synchronize your license data at any time outside of the automatic weekly sync, by manually triggering a license sync job. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

If you use multiple {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instances, you can enable automatic license sync between each of your instances and the same enterprise account on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}.

{% data reusables.enterprise-licensing.view-consumed-licenses %}

You can also manually upload {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} user license information to {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.
