Example of Utilizing the Deactivated and Unused User Accounts

Inactive users are not counted in the number of users who are using a service.
Therefore, after inactivating users, you can use their licenses that became available for other users.
For example, when User-S is hired after User-A temporarily left the company, you can register the account for User-S without increasing the number of licensed users.
