{% data reusables.enterprise-licensing.about-license-sync %} For more information, see "[About {% data variables.product.prodname_github_connect %}](/admin/configuration/configuring-github-connect/about-github-connect#data-transmission-for-github-connect)."

If you enable automatic user license sync for your enterprise, {% data variables.product.prodname_github_connect %} will automatically synchronize license usage between {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} weekly.{% ifversion ghes > 3.4 %} 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 "[Triggering a license sync job](/billing/managing-your-license-for-github-enterprise/syncing-license-usage-between-github-enterprise-server-and-github-enterprise-cloud#triggering-a-license-sync-job)."{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
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 organization or enterprise account on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}.

|

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 "[Syncing license usage between {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}](/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 %}. For more information, see "[Managing {% data variables.product.prodname_github_connect %}](/admin/configuration/configuring-github-connect/managing-github-connect)."
