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](/billing/managing-your-license-for-github-enterprise/syncing-license-usage-between-github-enterprise-server-and-github-enterprise-cloud#triggering-a-license-sync-job).

|
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](/billing/managing-your-license-for-github-enterprise/syncing-license-usage-between-github-enterprise-server-and-github-enterprise-cloud).

## Enabling license synchronization
|
|
|
|
Before enabling license synchronization on {% data variables.location.product_location %}, you must enable {% data variables.product.prodname_github_connect %}. See {% ifversion ghecom-license-sync %}[AUTOTITLE](/admin/configuring-settings/configuring-github-connect/enabling-github-connect-for-ghecom) or {% endif %}[AUTOTITLE](/admin/configuring-settings/configuring-github-connect/enabling-github-connect-for-githubcom).

> If SAML with SCIM is enabled, the `scim-admin` setup user will not consume a license. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/admin/managing-iam/provisioning-user-accounts-with-scim/configuring-scim-provisioning-for-users#1-create-a-built-in-setup-user).
