# Configure Subscriptions in Access Server

Subscription licenses unlock a specific number of concurrent VPN connections on Access Server. It offers flexibility with monthly or yearly renewals; connections are shared across servers from a common pool.

Use these resources to configure and manage subscription licenses.

## Changing disconnection behavior

**Subscription Enforcement Order:** Configure whether the most recent or oldest VPN connections should be disconnected when exceeding the connection limit:

**Setting a Local Limit:** When sharing a subscription across multiple Access Servers, you can limit the number of connections on a specific server:
