About synchronization of license usage

{% data reusables.enterprise-licensing.about-license-sync %}

If you allow {% data variables.product.product_location %} to connect to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, you can sync license usage between your enterprise accounts automatically. Automatic synchronization ensures that you see up-to-date license details on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}. If you don't want to allow {% data variables.product.product_location %} to connect to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, you can manually sync license usage by uploading a file from {% data variables.product.product_location %} to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}.

For more information about licenses and usage for {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}, see "About licenses for {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}."

Automatically syncing license usage

You can use {% data variables.product.prodname_github_connect %} to automatically sync user license count and usage between {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}. For more information, see "Enabling automatic user license sync between {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}."

Manually syncing license usage

You can download a JSON file from {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} and upload the file to {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} to manually sync user license usage between the two deployments.
