The Overview of all licences („Übersicht aller Lizenzen“ in German) is an overview of all your purchased licences, which shows whether the licences are already assigned or still available for use.
Shared Device Licences have no assignment limits, as they are not bound to specific users.

- Should a specific product not show up in this overview, you currently have no available licences for that product.

After clicking on that button, a new window will pop up. Please enter the first and last name, as well as the primary e-mail-address for the new user.
