Hello,

I have a question regarding managed users.

Recently, I purchased three licenses for the Box Starter plan. However, even though there is only one managed user, the system shows that 11 licenses are in use, and I am receiving alerts prompting me to purchase additional licenses.
Additionally, the email domains of the managed user and external users are different.

I would like to ask the following:

  1. What is the cause of this issue?
  2. Is it okay to ignore the purchase alert and continue using the service as is?

Thank you for your time. I appreciate your support.
