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 %}."
