## About licensing for GitHub Advanced Security

Each license for {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} specifies a maximum number of accounts that can use these features. Each active committer to at least one repository with the feature enabled uses one {% ifversion ghas-billing-UI-update %}license{% else %}seat{% endif %}. A committer is considered active if one of their commits has been pushed to the repository within the last 90 days, regardless of when it was originally authored. For more information about committer numbers, see "[AUTOTITLE](/billing/managing-billing-for-github-advanced-security/about-billing-for-github-advanced-security)."
