About User Licenses
The Firebox® X Edge comes with a set number of available user
licenses. The number of user licenses puts a limit on how many users
can access the Internet at one time. The total number of available
user licenses is set by the Edge model you have and any upgrade
licenses you apply.
The Firebox Users page shows the maximum number of user licenses
available and how many are in use at a given time.
You use a user license when you send traffic from the trusted or
optional network to the external network.
You do not use a user license when you make connections between
computers on the trusted network or through a VPN tunnel. You

trusted network to the optional network.
If you make users authenticate before they connect to the external
network, you can make sure that no user licenses are used by unau-
thorized computers. If authentication is required, and a user or com-
puter tries to connect to the external network without
authenticating, the Edge does not allow the connection.

authenticate to the Active Directory/LDAP server are based on group
membership.
User authentication gives options to prevent connections to some
resources and to help decrease the number of user licenses neces-
sary. This section gives information on how a user can authenticate
to the Edge, how your users and administrators can close an active
