# Assign Licenses for Installed Packages

To give users access to a package that you installed, assign licenses in Setup. If you purchased a site license or if the managed package isn't licensed, Salesforce assigns licenses to all your users and you can’t manage licenses. Your users can use the package as long as they have the appropriate permissions.

To assign licenses to specific users:

1. From Setup, enter Installed Packages in the Quick Find box, then select **Installed Packages** to find the installed package that has available licenses.
2. Click the **Manage Licenses** link next to the package name.
3. Click **Add Users**.
4. Choose a view from the dropdown list, or click **Create New View** to build a new custom view.
5. Select a letter to filter the users with a last name that corresponds with that letter, or click **All** to display all users who match the criteria of the current view.
6. Select users.
    1. To select individual users, use the checkboxes. Selected users are listed in the Selected list. When the list includes all users to which you want to assign licenses, click **Add**.
    2. To select all users for the current view, click **Add All Users** then click **OK**.
7. (Optional) Certain managed packages created by Salesforce require external access to data within your org. To allow an installed managed package to connect with external data, click **Enable for Platform Integrations**. Alternatively, to revoke access between an installed managed package and external data, click **Disable for Platform Integrations**. Enable this functionality only upon request from a Salesforce-owned managed package.

You can assign each license to a user within your org. If you assign all available licenses, but want to grant licenses to additional users, you can reassign a license, or purchase more. To get more licenses, contact the provider of the managed package.")
