# Assign licenses

Assign Remote Desktop Manager licenses to individual users or all users at once from the Administration Licenses menu.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}
Remote Desktop Manager licenses are stored in the [advanced workspace](/rdm/getting-started/workspaces/workspace-types/native-workspaces.md) located in ***Administration*** – ***Licenses***. Therefore there is no need to register Remote Desktop Manager locally as the license serial is retrieved directly from it. When launching the application for the first time, connect to the workspace containing the serial.

1. Manage and assign the user's licenses in ***Administration*** – ***Licenses***.
2. Select the license and click the ***Assign licenses*** icon.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="success" class="hint hint-success"><p>If you have more than one license, our <a href="mailto:sales@devolutions.net?subject=Co-terminate%20all%20my%20RDM%20licenses">sales team</a> can provide a co-terminated renewal to facilitate your license management.</p></div>
3. In the ***Assigned*** column, check next to each user you need to grant a license or use the global action buttons to assign to all or missing.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>Automatically assigning licenses to users does not work with a Devolutions Cloud workspace since you will be redirected to the Web interface after clicking <em><strong>Licenses</strong></em>. This feature is also not available in the Devolutions Cloud web interface.</p></div>

A warning window ("You didn't assign the license to any user, do you want to proceed anymay?") will open if you click ***Clear all*** and forget to assign the license to a user. Note that you can always go back to the ***Assign licenses icon*** to assign the license.

4. Click ***OK*** to save.

The license is now assigned to a user.

# 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.devolutions.net/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/administration/licenses/assign-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.
