# 🎮 How to Create a License Pool

This article will guide you through the process of creating and setting up a license pool for in-house game accounts.

---


### ✅ Prerequisites

Before you begin:

* Configure **User** and **PC groups** if you want to restrict license pool access.
* Ensure the **games** intended for the license pool are already **enabled and configured**.

### 🧠 Overview

A **license pool** is where your center’s in-house game accounts are stored. These accounts can be borrowed by users and optionally restricted to specific PC or user groups.

When a user clicks the **“Just Play”** button on a client PC, they will see a list of available game accounts. Once an account is no longer in use, it becomes available for others.

###  🏗️ Creating a License Pool

3. Enter a **name** for your license pool.
4. In the **Games** field, search or select from the dropdown list of enabled games.

|| Tip:
|| While you can assign multiple games to one pool, we recommend creating one license pool per game for easier management.
|| Also, register one account per game title to ensure license availability.
|| Example:
|| Instead of using one Steam account for two games, create two separate Steam accounts.

5. Select the **PC** and/or **User groups** that can access the pool.
