About synchronization of license usage
GitHub uses a unique-user licensing model. For enterprise products that include multiple deployment options, GitHub determines how many licensed seats you're consuming based on the number of unique users across all your deployments.
Each user only consumes one license, no matter how many GitHub Enterprise Server instances the user uses, or how many organizations the user is a member of on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. This model allows each person to use multiple GitHub Enterprise deployments without incurring extra costs.
对于使用多个 GitHub Enterprise 环境以仅使用单个许可证的用户，您必须在环境之间同步许可证使用情况。 然后，GitHub 将根据与其用户帐户关联的电子邮件地址对用户进行重复数据删除。 For more information, see "Troubleshooting license usage for GitHub Enterprise."
To ensure that you see up-to-date license details on GitHub.com, you can sync license usage between the environments automatically, using GitHub Connect. For more information about GitHub Connect, see "About GitHub Connect."
If you don't want to enable GitHub Connect, you can manually sync license usage by uploading a file from GitHub Enterprise Server to GitHub.com.
When you synchronize license usage, only the user ID and email addresses for each user account on GitHub Enterprise Server are transmitted to GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
同步许可证使用情况后，您可以在 GitHub.com 上的企业设置中看到所有环境中已使用许可证的报告。 更多信息请参阅“查看 GitHub Enterprise 的许可证使用情况”。
Note: If you synchronize license usage and your enterprise account on GitHub.com does not use 企业托管用户, we highly recommend enabling verified domains for your enterprise account on GitHub.com. For privacy reasons, your consumed license report only includes the email address associated with a user account on GitHub.com if the address is hosted by a verified domain. If one person is erroneously consuming multiple licenses, having access to the email address that is being used for deduplication makes troubleshooting much easier. For more information, see "Verifying or approving a domain for your enterprise" and "About 企业托管用户" in the GitHub Enterprise Cloud documentation.
Automatically syncing license usage
You can use GitHub Connect to automatically synchronize user license count and usage between GitHub Enterprise Server and GitHub Enterprise Cloud weekly. For more information, see "Enabling automatic user license sync for your enterprise."
Manually uploading GitHub Enterprise Server license usage
You can download a JSON file from GitHub Enterprise Server and upload the file to GitHub Enterprise Cloud to manually sync user license usage between the two deployments.
