Can a concurrent license be automatically switched to read-only license?

Question

We have 4 concurrent licenses. Sometimes a 5th concurrent user wants to read something but cannot sign in unless they contact IT and kick someone else out. Wondering if there is such a mechanism that if the concurrent user cannot sign in, they are given an option to access M-Files with a read-only license? Thanks.

No, such an option does not exist unfortunately. A specific license type is assigned for each user and M-Files can't dynamically change it. 
 If you haven't yet configured automatic logout times, that may help in some scenarios if a concurrent user has forgot to log out after they are done with their work: Specifying the Automatic Logout Time in M-Files
