# Assign, unassign or change licenses

Here's a breakdown of the license types:

* **Named License**: This type can only be assigned to a single user at a time. Each user with a named license has exclusive access.
* **Floating License**: Floating licenses can be assigned to multiple users. This means, for instance, you can allocate your 10 floating licenses to 20 users. However, please note that only as many users can be simultaneously logged into aqua as there are available licenses. In the example with the 10 floating licenses, only 10 out of the 20 users can be logged in simultaneously.

More information and the whole comparison of the available licenses can be found under the following [article](https://app.gitbook.com/o/kSM9ccXYoQwlhfFqpEsn/s/yZbW8vbNs5hz8x57emJJ/~/changes/43/user-administration/comparison-of-licenses).

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are SaaS or Private Cloud customer you will have only one type of the license which is 'aqua cloud' license, which has got all of the permissions according to the set up of the ALM license type.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

By selecting the user and following these steps, you can efficiently manage your licenses and user access within aqua, providing flexibility while adhering to the limits set by your available licenses.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.aqua-cloud.io/documentation/user-administration/assign-unassign-or-change-licenses.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
