When you set up your VCC Admin Portal account with Vonage Contact Center, you will have a limited number of agent licenses. Each active agent uses an agent license.

The following limits apply to your agent licenses:

• Agent license limit.
  The number of agent licenses in your account.
• Maximum agent license limit.
  The maximum agent license limit equates to the total number of agents you can create. This limit includes a number of additional licenses available (at extra cost) when you have reached your license limit. The maximum agent license limit enables you to create agents immediately without having to request more licenses.
  Depending on your account user type, you can continue to create agents even if you exceed your maximum agent license limit.

When you open the Manage agents dialog box in Real Time, you can see how many agent licenses you have and how many are in use.

If you have exceeded your agent license limit or maximum agent license limit, when you try to create a new agent or activate a currently inactive agent a warning appears. Depending on your account user type, which limit you have exceeded and the action you are attempting, the warning will contain a different message and you have a choice of how to proceed. For information about VCC Admin Portal user types, see Vonage Contact Center user types.
