Assign licenses to AD objects

This section pertains to the SolarWinds licensing mechanism and does not apply to the legacy 8MAN licensing.

When the number of active users surpasses your license scope, update the License Scope to limit the license scope to specific Active Directory (AD) resources. These resources include organizational units (OUs), containers, user accounts, and group accounts.

If your license coverage addresses all user in your domains, you do not need to make an assignment.
