1. An optical disk, magnetic storage device, or semiconductor computer-readable storage device, having instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

  • receive a coexistence tool at an on-premises device, the coexistence tool being received from a remote host device associated with a hosted service;

    communicate at least one configuration parameter to the remote host device, wherein the configuration parameter relates to operation of the coexistence tool and comprises an identifier corresponding to the on-premises device;

    execute the coexistence tool in accordance with the configuration parameter;

    synchronize, via referencing the identifier, on-premises data maintained by the on-premises device with hosted data maintained by the remote host device, the on-premises data and the hosted data relating to the hosted service;

    compile a list identifying a first plurality of users accessing the on-premises data and a second plurality of users accessing a counterpart of the on-premises data that is maintained at the remote host device;

    assign, to a selected subset of the users, a license to access the remote host device; and

    allow the selected subset of the users to access the remote host device.
