You can allocate the user licenses included in your {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} license to users in {% data variables.product.product_location_enterprise %} and a {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} enterprise account. When you add a user to either environment, they will consume a license. If a user has accounts in both environments, to consume only one license, their primary {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} email address must be the same as their verified {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} email address. You can sync license count and usage between the environments.
