Possible Suggestion/Solution #1
Inside Salesforce, you must assign User licenses on the user profile page. Each user is required to have a license associated to it.
The list of those licenses can be found here.
Those licenses relate to the licenses Salesforce actually sells. The specific licenses available for an org can be viewed on the Company Information page.
You can find more detail on those license types here.
There is also the concept of Feature Licenses. These licenses can be applied on a per user basis found on the user profile as checkboxes.
The available feature licenses an org has can also be viewed on the Company Information page.
The full list of feature licenses can be found here.

I hope the below details which I am attaching will help everyone to have pretty good information on Licenses !
License
In Salesforce, every user is identified by a username, password, and a single profile. The profile determines what tasks users can perform, what data they see, and what they can do with the data
A user license entitles a user to different functionality within Salesforce and determines which profiles and permission sets are available to the user.
