Assign or unassign licenses for users

You can assign licenses for users in Cloud Commander on either the Product Licenses page or the Users page. The page you use depends on whether you want to assign licenses for specific users, or you want to assign users for a specific product. You can unassign licenses from users on the Users page.

Prerequisites
