  5. If you need to monitor extra users/endpoints but ran out of your license allotments, you can disable monitoring for the computers you don’t need and use those freed-up licenses to monitor the computer you need to monitor. Check out this article to learn how to enable/disable monitoring for a computer. You can also upgrade your license to get more allotments. How to upgrade or downgrade my subscription.
