The number of users who are active and how many are licensed is presented

In addition, the duration of usage of the current license is also presented, and displayed in red if it will expire soon.

The matrix of statistics by license count provides the following information based upon the FROM and TO date and time specified in the heading:

Current Usage / Max	The number of user actively logged in by license type / The maximum allowed by your license
Accepted Login Total	The total number of login sessions accepted (authenticated and authorized)

> Administrator user must be able to sign in at any time.

Also, if you have an unlimited number of users with your license then any user may log in multiple times with the same username, including the Administrator.

You may also see information about who is a producer vs. consumer and who is active in MANAGE > Users.

When someone signs in and that would exceed the maximum number of that type of user, a message like this appears:

The Named user checkbox column in the Manage Users page is hidden when you have uploaded a producer license.

Named vs. Concurrent Users

The maximum number can be based on a maximum number of named users, or more likely a maximum number of concurrent users (among all users) which may be active at a given point in time. By default, the maximum number of concurrent users applies to any type of users from advanced administrators to business users.

Producers vs. Consumers

A concurrent user license can be split in two maximum limits:

Metadata producers who are read-write concurrent users such as data architects, data stewards, data modelers, glossary editors, mapping designers, developers, and any advanced users with access to all functionalities.
Metadata consumers who are ready-only concurrent users such as data users, analysts, reviewers who can create worksheets/dashboards, add comments/social curation)

With this split license, users are considered to be metadata consumers by default. In order to designate a user as a producer, they must have roles with object or global capability assignments that makes them a Producer.

You may see the assignment of users in the list under MANAGE > Users:

> A repository database that has been initialized when a single version /
> single configuration license is applied will NOT have a naming standards
> model. Thus, one cannot apply a more complete license and expect to use

> database with the new license applied.
