<summary>How do I add a license?</summary>

See Add a License in the [Cortex XSOAR Admin Guide](broken://spaces/OHlpKeFtqCLUYKuYyccd/pages/cXNuECcqWtloIHkp7utB).

</details>

<details>

<summary>If I have a single server, how do I install a multi-tenant environment?</summary>

To install Cortex XSOAR as a multi-tenant, you need to install everything from scratch.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I am a non-MSSP customer. Can I change to multi-tenant architecture?</summary>

Yes, you can change your installation to a multi-tenant environment as long as you don’t onboard end-customers.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens if my license expires?</summary>

If your license expires, your Cortex XSOAR machine will roll back to Cortex XSOAR community edition, including all of its limitations. All automations will cease.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is the difference between Audit users and Full users?</summary>

Audit users have read-only permission in Cortex XSOAR, meaning they do not have the ability to edit system components and data or run commands, automations, and playbooks. Audit users can view incidents, dashboards, and reports.

Full users have read-write permission in Cortex XSOAR, meaning they have the ability to view and edit system components and data. They can investigate incidents, run automation scripts and playbooks, and chat in the War Room. Full user access to Cortex XSOAR is determined by their assigned role.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens if I add more users than my entitlements?</summary>

A message pops up that you’ve exceeded the amount of users. If you would like to purchase more users, contact your account team.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-6.x-faqs/cortex-xsoar-6-faqs/licensing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
