About unexpected license usage
If the number of consumed licenses for your enterprise is unexpected, you can review your consumed license report to audit your license usage across all your enterprise deployments and subscriptions. For more information, see "Viewing license usage for GitHub Enterprise" and "Viewing the subscription and usage for your enterprise account."
If you find errors, you can try troubleshooting steps.
For privacy reasons, enterprise owners cannot directly access the details of user accounts unless you use Usuarios Administrados de Enterprise.
About the calculation of consumed licenses
GitHub bills for each person who uses deployments of GitHub Enterprise Server, is a member of one of your organizations on Nube de GitHub Enterprise, or is a Suscriptor de Visual Studio. For more information about the people in your enterprise who consume a license, see "About per-user pricing."
For each user to consume a single seat regardless of how many deployments they use, you must synchronize license usage between GitHub Enterprise Server and Nube de GitHub Enterprise. Para obtener más información, consulta la sección "Sincronizar el uso de licencia entre GitHub Enterprise Server y Nube de GitHub Enterprise".
After you synchronize license usage, GitHub matches user accounts on GitHub Enterprise Server with user accounts on Nube de GitHub Enterprise by email address.
First, we first check the primary email address of each user on GitHub Enterprise Server. Then, we attempt to match that address with the email address for a user account on Nube de GitHub Enterprise. If your enterprise uses SAML SSO, we first check the following SAML attributes for email addresses.
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/namehttp://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddressnombre de usuarioID del nombreemails
If no email addresses found in these attributes match the primary email address on GitHub Enterprise Server, or if your enterprise doesn't use SAML SSO, we then check each of the user's verified email addresses on Nube de GitHub Enterprise. Para obtener más información sobre la verificación de las direcciones de correo electrónico de GitHub.com, consulta la sección "Verificar tu dirección de correo electrónico" en la documentación de Nube de GitHub Enterprise.

Troubleshooting consumed licenses
To ensure that the each user is only consuming a single seat for different deployments and subscriptions, try the following troubleshooting steps.
-
To help identify users that are consuming multiple seats, if your enterprise uses verified domains for Nube de GitHub Enterprise, review the list of enterprise members who do not have an email address from a verified domain associated with their account on GitHub.com. Often, these are the users who erroneously consume more than one licensed seat. Para obtener más información, consulta la sección "Ver a los miembros sin un a dirección de correo electrónico desde un dominio verificado".
Note: To make troubleshooting easier, we recommend using verified domains with your enterprise account on GitHub.com. Para obtener más información, consulta la sección "Verificar o aprobar un dominio para tu empresa".
-
After you identify users who are consuming multiple seats, make sure that the same email address is associated with all of the user's accounts. For more information about which email addresses must match, see "About the calculation of consumed licenses."
-
If an email address was recently updated or verified to correct a mismatch, view the timestamp of the last license sync job. If a job hasn't run since the correction was made, manually trigger a new job. For more information, see "Syncing license usage between GitHub Enterprise Server and GitHub Enterprise Cloud."
If you still have questions about your consumed licenses after reviewing the troubleshooting information above, you can contact Soporte de GitHub through the GitHub Support portal.
