### Active users and Remote Desktop Manager license owners

To find out the number of active users, go to ***Administration*** – ***Users*** and sort the list according to ***Last activity***. Then, by counting the rows or pages of users who have been inactive (say for a period of 3 months or more), you can figure out the number of active users by subtracting the inactive users from the total number of users.

Furthermore, Remote Desktop Manager licenses can be unassigned and then auto-assigned to make sure only active users get a license. To do this, go to ***Administration*** – ***Licenses*** – ***Assigned to***. Then, click on ***Clear all*** before going to ***General*** and checking ***Auto assign***. Keep in mind that it may take a few weeks to get an accurate number.
