To use license automation, make sure that the server's firewall allows outbound traffic to the M-Files licensing server at https://mfmgmtapiprod.cloudvault.m-files.com on port 443.
To open license management settings in M-Files Admin, right-click your M-Files server in the left-side tree view and click License Management.

Number of named user licenses / In use
The number of licenses installed is displayed for each license type separately. Below that, you can see the number of licenses in use. Named user licenses are assigned to individual login accounts. For more information about license types, refer to License type.
Number of concurrent user licenses / In use
The number of concurrent user licenses in use is determined by the number of currently logged in users using this license type.

For more information about license types, refer to License type.
Number of read-only licenses / In use
A read-only license allows the user only to read content. It does not allow the user to create or modify documents in the document vault. For more information about license types, refer to License type.
