    1. This this example, we will access Analyzer

  1. If you have free licenses available, you will see an "+ Allocate" button at the bottom of the page. When selecting this, you can pick the user(s) you wish to assign a license to
    1. To select multiple users, hold Ctrl when clicking each user
  2. Select "Allocate" to then allocate the licenses to the selected users

  4. You will now see the relevant users in the list for allocated licenses.

  4. Select the relevant users in the list and select "Deallocate" from the bottom of the page
    1. This is next to "+ Allocate"
If the "Last Used" date is within the last seven days, the license cannot be re-allocated immediately. The license in question must have not been used in the past seven days in order for this to be assigned immediately, otherwise this will go into "Quarantine" until the seven days are up.
