If you're the owner of an organization on a GitHub Team plan, you can add or remove user licenses to your plan through the "Licensing" page.

  2. Klicke neben der Organisation auf Einstellungen.
  3. Klicke auf der linken Seite der Seite in der Randleiste der Organisation auf Billing & Licensing.
  4. Click Licensing.
  5. In the GitHub Team banner, click Edit and select Add seats or Remove seats.
  6. Define the number of new seats you require. The details of the prorated cost for the remainder of the billing cycle and the total for your next bill are updated automatically.
  7. Click Add seats or Remove seats.

Changing members to outside collaborators

To reduce the number of paid licenses your organization requires, you can convert members to outside collaborators and give them access to only public repositories. For more information, see:

Enterprises on GitHub Enterprise Cloud

For organizations that are part of an enterprise, licenses are managed at the enterprise level. Only self-serve customers on a volume agreement can manage licenses through the GitHub UI.

To add or remove licenses from your enterprise account:

  • If you pay by invoice, contact your account manager in Vertriebsteam von GitHub.
  • If you are a self-serve customer with usage-based license billing, you don't need to add a set number of licenses to your enterprise. You will be billed for licenses based on the number of members in your organizations. See Nutzungsbasierte Abrechnung für Enterprise-Lizenzen.
  • If you are a self-serve customer with volume license billing, follow the instructions below.

Self-serve customers with volume licenses

  1. Navigate to your enterprise account.
  2. Klicke oben auf der Seite auf Billing and licensing.
  3. In the left sidebar, click Licensing.
  4. Next to "Enterprise Cloud", click , then click Manage licenses.
  5. Choose your number of licenses, then click Confirm licenses.
