User Licenses Remaining?

Question

I want to know, current user limit i.e. how much I utilized and how much I have remaining.

I went through Limits class and UserInfo class, but I didn't find useful stuff. And even in OOTB, there is not specific count for user. There is only limits for Custom Fields, Workflow, relationships etc.

Anyone has idea, how to know the remaining user count or know the current org's user limit limit(which is customized mostly as per the requirement).

Answer 1

We have a UserLicense object in Salesforce, which stores all the license count information.

Link to documentation: UserLicense object.

Query:

select Id, Name, UsedLicenses, TotalLicenses, Status, MasterLabel, LicenseDefinitionKey from UserLicense

Apex code:

List<UserLicense> users = [select Id, Name, UsedLicenses, TotalLicenses, Status, MasterLabel, LicenseDefinitionKey from UserLicense];

for(UserLicense ul : users){
System.debug('Name: ' + ul.name);
System.debug('UsedLicenses: ' + ul.UsedLicenses);
System.debug('TotalLicenses: ' + ul.TotalLicenses);
}

There is an Idea asking for this feature, which seems to indicate what you want is not currently available on the platform.

Query License count in Apex

It would be great if we could query the license count in Apex. We have situations where we want to know if any licenses are available, and right now the only way we can tell is to look at the screens. This would be very helpful with writing any visual force pages that do user maintenance.

If you just want to find this information through the UI (not programmatically), you can go to Setup > Company Profile > Company Information.

You can handle the scenario where you have insufficient licenses in a catch block. You can use a rollback to prevent actual insert if you need to proactively gather this information.

Savepoint sp = Database.setSavepoint();
try
{
    insert mockUsers;
    Database.rollback(sp);
}
catch (DmlException dmx)
{
    for (Integer i = 0; i < dmx.getNumDml(); i++)
    {
        if (dmx.getDmlType(i) == StatusCode.LICENSE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED)
        {
            // did not have remaining license for mockUsers[i]
        }
    }
}
