## 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 %}](/billing/managing-your-license-for-github-enterprise/about-licenses-for-github-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 %}](/admin/installation/enabling-automatic-user-license-sync-between-github-enterprise-server-and-github-enterprise-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.
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.access-enterprise %}
