# License assignment

This article explains how to enable or disable protection for your repositories by managing license assignment.

#### Licenses are required to use **GitProtect**. To get a license, please contact one of our sales partners or [email us directly](https://gitprotect.io/contact-us.html).

## Protecting your repositories

To enable or disable licenses for your repositories, open the relevant dashboard (i.e., **GitHub**) and click **Explore** button in the right-bottom corner of the organization tile. Here, you can manage all your repositories and enable or disable protection by assigning a license. In the **License assigned** column, use the toggle button to turn the protection on or off.
