This document describes how to check your user and repository count. This is helpful for companies that have purchased, or are interested in purchasing, a commercial license and want to evaluate their current usage.

## Verify Limits

If you have an existing commercial license, your user and repository limits are printed to the console when the server starts.

```diff
{
  "build.limit": 0,
  "expires": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "kind": "standard",
  "level": "debug",
  "msg": "main: license loaded",
+ "repo.limit": 25,
  "time": "2019-11-02T10:43:11-07:00",
+ "user.limit": 25
}

```

## Finding Counts

You can find the total count of users and the total count of active repositories by visiting the `/metrics` endpoint in your browser. These are provided by the `drone_user_count` and `drone_repo_count` metrics, respectively. _Note that you must have the system admin role to visit this endpoint_.

```auto
# HELP drone_repo_count Total number of registered repositories.
# TYPE drone_repo_count gauge
drone_repo_count 54

# HELP drone_user_count Total number of active users.
# TYPE drone_user_count gauge
drone_user_count 24

```

You should compare your counts to your license limits.

## Listing Resources

You can get a list of all users from the database using the below query, or you can use the command line utility [1] to list all users.

```nohighlight
SELECT user_login FROM users

```

You can get a list of all active repositories from the database using the below query. _Note the user interface only show repositories for which you are a collaborator and is therefore not expected to show all repositories, even if you are a system admin._

```nohighlight
SELECT repo_slug FROM repos WHERE repo_active = true

```

## Removing Resources

You can de-activate a repository using the command line utility [2] or by navigating to the repository settings page in the user interface and clicking the _Disable_ button.

```nohighlight
drone repo rm octocat/hello-world

```

You can remove user accounts using the command line utility [3]. _Please note that if you remove a user account, and that user account activated a repository, it will need to be de-activated and then re-activated by another user._

```nohighlight
drone user rm octocat

```
