Each Salesforce Connect add-on license includes a set number of connections per adapter type. A Salesforce Connect add-on license is associated with a single Salesforce org.
| Salesforce Connect Adapter | Number of Connections per License |

| Cross-org | 5 |

The number of Salesforce Connect add-on licenses that you need depends on where the data is stored and which type of connections are required. Some common data integration scenarios and the number of licenses required:
- Your primary Salesforce org accesses data stored in six other Salesforce orgs. You need two Salesforce Connect add-on licenses. Both Salesforce Connect add-on licenses are assigned to the primary org.
- Your primary Salesforce org accesses data stored in one secondary Salesforce org. The secondary org accesses the primary org data. You need two Salesforce Connect add-on licenses, one for each org.
- Your primary Salesforce org accesses data stored in five other Salesforce orgs and one external data source. You need one Salesforce Connect add-on license, which is assigned to the primary org.
