Enabling automatic user license sync between GitHub Enterprise Server and GitHub Enterprise Cloud

About license synchronization

After you enable license synchronization, you'll be able to view license usage for your entire enterprise account, across GitHub Enterprise Server and GitHub Enterprise Cloud. GitHub Connect syncs license between GitHub Enterprise Server and GitHub Enterprise Cloud weekly. For more information, see "Managing your license for GitHub Enterprise."

You can also manually upload GitHub Enterprise Server user license information to GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see "Connecting GitHub Enterprise Server to GitHub Enterprise Cloud."
