All the licenses you purchase are contained your license key. The Coordinator automatically allocates licenses to the connected machines in the Incredibuild environment. The licenses are allocated (or "subscribed") according to the number of cores each Agent machine has. Licenses are allocated and registered permanently to a specific machine for an ongoing use. They can be deallocated from a machine and return to the license pool if they are manually unsubscribed from a machine. **Note:** Incredibuild considers each logical hyper-threaded core as a CPU core when allocating licenses. ## Automatically Subscribe New Agents When new Helper Agents are installed, you can determine if they are automatically assigned a license ("subscribed"). You control this setting in the Coordinator Manager > Settings > General tab with the **auto-subscribe new agents** checkbox. Modifying the setting does not affect Agents that are already installed. ## Viewing your License Details You can view all of your license details in the **Coordinator Manager** > **License** page. ## View Subscription Status in Command Line If you are working in the command line, you can see whether an Agent is subscribed by using the `--check-license` flag.
