Gain Visibility Into Jira/Confluence License Usage Patterns For Free




OSCi's Flexible Studio has announced a major update to their bestselling Atlassian Marketplace add-on, Flexible User License. The newly released Flexible User License introduces enhanced features and a refreshed interface designed to help customers better manage user access across Atlassian products.




Take Action: How To Start Getting Usage Status?


1. Download The Add-on in Atlassian Marketplace


Visit Atlassian Marketplace and click on Flexible User License & Seat Auto Management for Jira. (Flexible Studio has a different add-on for Confluence, but with the exact same features and same functionality. If you need the add-on for Confluence, click Flexible User License & Seat Auto Management for Confluence.)

Installation typically takes about 15 minutes. Follow these steps to get started with the add-on.

Note that Flexible User License begins collecting usage data immediately upon installation, giving customers access to complete usage analytics during their 30-day trial window.


2. Check Overall Status of Your Atlassian Product


The add-on comes with a 30-day free trial, making it the ideal time to assess your overall license utilization. We've encountered numerous customers who admit they have no visibility into user activity—they can't identify active versus inactive users, let alone track total usage across their various products.


We've all been there—your boss walks up to your desk with one or two requests. Either they want you to "clean house" and figure out who's actually using their licenses so you can remove the dead weight, or they need a report showing how your team is really using these products. And you're sitting there thinking, "Great, where do I even start?" because you honestly have no clue who's doing what.  




See How Flexible User Licensing Makes a Difference


Look, a tool becomes something special when it actually solves your real problems. That's what Flexible User License does—it's not just another user management tool. It makes controlling license costs way more effective and honestly, much easier than you'd expect. You'll be surprised how managing users can actually become simple and stress-free.


Let's be honest—every company's worst nightmare is getting hit with bills they could have easily avoided. Nobody wants to explain to their boss why they're paying for licenses that aren't even being used. That's where smart add-on tools come in. Good company management isn't just about having people—it's about having the right tools to manage everything efficiently.




Latest Features That Will Blow Your Mind


1. Multi-site Management


Drop-down to select instance



If your organization is like most, you're probably juggling a bunch of different instances. And let's be real—constantly switching back and forth between Atlassian instances is a total pain and not exactly the best use of your time.


Here's where Flexible User License makes your life easier. You can check on all your instances right from one summary page. Just click the dropdown, pick whichever instance you want to look at, and boom—you're done.


Trust me, this little feature is going to save your sanity when your boss drops that "I need a usage report by end of day" bomb on you. Instead of frantically jumping between systems, you can pull everything together in no time.



2. External Users(other domains)


Manage users from other domains



Struggling with managing users from outside your company domain? What if I told you that Flexible User License can handle users from different domains AND automate the whole thing for you?


Managing external users doesn't have to be this impossible task anymore. You can finally ditch all that tedious manual work and actually take that coffee break you've been putting off. All those time-consuming check-ups you used to do for external users accessing your Atlassian products? Yeah, that's all automated now. Just set it up once and let it do the heavy lifting while you enjoy your coffee and biscuits.



3. License Management Rule(s)


Set rule to filter unused licenses



Yeah, that's right—"rules" with an "s" because we're talking about multiple ones. I know it might sound a bit weird talking about creating "rules" in this context, but stick with me here.


Think of License Management Rules as smart filters you set up in the add-on. They automatically kick out users who haven't been active for whatever time period you decide on. No more manual hunting through lists of dormant accounts.


And here's the really cool part—you can create up to 20 different rules to automatically clean house in your workspace. Plus, you can even schedule when these rules should run. So you could set it to do a cleanup every Monday or Friday, or whatever works for your team. Set it and forget it.




Final Thought


A customer once asked me, "How often do I need to check on this thing?" and I told them, "You don't." That's the whole beauty of this add-on—it's designed to run on automatically. The entire point is "auto management," so you can basically set it up and walk away.


And hey, if after your 30-day trial you decide it's not your cup of tea? No big deal. Just hit delete and it's gone from your Atlassian workspace forever. No lingering traces, no hassle—just clean removal.
