# Article Name 4 Ways to Check Your License Count in Gong # Article Summary Explore four straightforward methods to review your Gong license count and ensure seats align with team usage needs accurately # Original HTML URL on Toriihq.com https://www.toriihq.com/articles/how-to-find-license-count-gong # Details Paying for Gong seats your team doesn’t need is frustrating, but so is blocking a rep who needs access. Finding the right balance starts with knowing how many licenses are in use. Below, we walk through four quick ways to check your current license count, compare it with real adoption, and catch any mismatches before renewal season sneaks up. ## Use Gong's UI Use Gong’s UI to confirm the seats in your plan and the ones still open. ### 1. Open Company settings - Sign in to Gong. - Click your avatar in the top right corner. - Select Company settings from the drop-down. ### 2. Go to Subscription - In the left sidebar, scroll to the Account section. - Click Subscription. Gong loads a summary of everything tied to your contract. ### 3. Read the Seats panel - At the top of the Subscription page, find the card labeled Seats. - Purchased shows the total licenses on your plan. - Used shows how many are already assigned. - The difference equals your remaining seats. ### 4. (Optional) See who’s using a seat - Still in Subscription, click Manage seats. Gong opens the People page. - Use the filter that says Seat = Yes to list every user occupying a license. - Need the data outside Gong? Click Export to download the list as a CSV. Now you know where to check license counts before adding more users or asking Finance about extra seats. ## Use Torii Skip opening Gong just to check seat counts; let Torii [https://www.toriihq.com/], the SaaS management platform, surface the numbers for you. It rolls every subscription into a single dashboard, giving finance and IT one version of the truth on usage and spend. To see your Gong license count in Torii, follow these steps: ### 1. Sign up for Torii Reach out to Torii [https://www.toriihq.com/] and ask for a free two-week proof of concept to get started. ### 2. Connect your Gong account to Torii When your environment spins up, connect Gong to Torii with your existing credentials in just a few clicks. Step-by-step instructions live in the Gong integration documentation [https://support.toriihq.com/hc/en-us/articles/5168231755803]. ### 3. Search for Gong within Torii Head to the search bar on Torii’s dashboard, type “Gong,” and open the app page. You’ll see seat counts, total spend, renewal dates, and other details. ### Or, chat with Eko You can pull Gong details directly inside Torii with Eko [https://www.toriihq.com/eko]. Click the Eko icon in the dashboard’s lower right corner, enter your question, and the chat returns the Gong data you need. ## Use Gong's API This quick script calls Gong’s Users endpoint, grabs every user record, and tallies seats with a paid license. ### Step 1: Point to the Users endpoint Gong’s API docs mark /v2/users as the endpoint for every user profile, and that list includes each license type. ### Step 2: Filter only licensed users The field licenseType (sometimes just license) shows each seat type; examples include RECORDED, STANDARD, and VIEWONLY. Keep any value tied to a billable seat, ignore the rest: ### Step 3: Count the seats The value you see is the count of active paid licenses. The number returned is your active paid-license count. ### Step 4: Wrap it in a one-liner (optional) Run that anytime the finance team asks, and you’ll get the current seat total in seconds. ## Use Claude (via MCP) Pull data directly through Claude using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Claude is Anthropic’s conversational AI assistant and offers another option beyond ChatGPT. ### 1. Prep Torii Use the earlier Torii [https://www.toriihq.com/] directions to connect your Gong workspace, then open Settings and create a new API key. ### 2. Configure MCP within Claude Check the official Torii MCP package [https://www.npmjs.com/package/@toriihq/torii-mcp?activeTab=readme] and its companion blog post [https://www.toriihq.com/blog/introducing-model-context-protocol-in-torii] for the complete walkthrough. After installing the Claude Desktop app, add this block to your claudedesktopconfig.json file: You’ll find the same API key you just generated waiting inside the Torii Settings tab today. ### 3. Chat with Claude You can interact with your Torii data directly from Claude. Try asking about active license counts, total spend, or the next renewal date? ## Torii for SaaS Management A stronger SaaS management strategy starts with the right platform.
