License consumption by organization members

Learn how consumption of licenses for GitHub by users is determined for organizations and enterprises.

この記事の内容

The foundation of your bill is the number of user accounts using your enterprise.

GitHub では、一意ユーザーのライセンス モデルが使用されます。 GitHub Enterprise プランでは、GitHub Enterprise Cloud と GitHub Enterprise Server の両方を使用する権利があります。 GitHub Enterprise Cloud の許容量には、GitHub.com または GHE.com 上の 1 つのデプロイが含まれます。

GitHub により、配置全体の一意ユーザー数に基づいて、使用しているライセンス シートの数が決定されます。 各ユーザーは、そのユーザーが使う GitHub Enterprise Server インスタンスの数や、GitHub Enterprise Cloud のデプロイでそのユーザーがメンバーになっている organization の数に関係なく、1 つのライセンスのみを使います。 このモデルを使用すると、各ユーザーが、追加のコストなしで複数の GitHub Enterprise デプロイを使用できます。

To ensure the same user isn't consuming more than one license for multiple enterprise deployments, you can synchronize license usage between your GitHub Enterprise Server and GitHub Enterprise Cloud environments. See Combined GitHub Enterprise cloud and server use.

In addition to licensed seats, your bill may include other charges, such as GitHub Advanced Security. See Billing for GitHub Enterprise.

Two billing models for GitHub Enterprise licenses

With usage-based billing, you pay for the number of licenses you use each month. You do not need to buy a predefined number of licenses in advance. See, Usage-based billing for enterprise licenses.

You are already enrolled in usage-based billing if you created a trial of GitHub Enterprise Cloud on or after August 1, 2024.

If you currently pay for your GitHub Enterprise licenses by invoice with a volume, subscription, or prepaid agreement, you will continue to be billed in this way until your agreement expires. At renewal, you have the option to switch to the metered billing model.

People that consume a license

GitHub bills for the following accounts for each deployment of GitHub Enterprise.

Accounts that consume a license on GitHub Enterprise Cloud

GitHub bills for each of the following accounts on GitHub Enterprise Cloud:

  • Enterprise owners who are a member or owner of at least one organization in the enterprise
  • Organization members, including owners
  • Outside collaborators on private or internal repositories owned by your organization, excluding forks
  • Dormant users who are a member or owner of at least one organization in the enterprise

If your enterprise does not use Enterprise Managed Users, you will also be billed for each of the following accounts:

  • Anyone with a pending invitation to become an organization owner or member
  • Anyone with a pending invitation to become an outside collaborator on private or internal repositories owned by your organization, excluding forks

メモ

  • GitHub counts each member or outside collaborator once for billing purposes, even if the user account has membership in multiple organizations in an enterprise or access to multiple repositories owned by your organization.
  • 招待されたユーザーが 7 日以内に招待を受け入れなかった場合、保留中の招待は自動的に期限切れになります。
  • Inviting an outside collaborator to a repository using their email address temporarily uses an available seat, even if they already have access to other repositories. After they accept the invite, the seat will be freed up again. However, inviting them using their username does not temporarily use a seat.

GitHub does not bill for any of the following accounts:

  • マネージド ユーザー アカウント that are suspended
  • Enterprise owners who are not a member or owner of at least one organization in the enterprise, except for the user who set up the enterprise
  • Enterprise billing managers
  • Billing managers for individual organizations
  • Anyone with a pending invitation to become a billing manager
  • Anyone with a pending invitation to become an outside collaborator on a public repository owned by your organization
  • Guest collaborators who are not organization members or repository collaborators (see エンタープライズにおける役割)
  • Users of GitHub Enterprise を持つ Visual Studio サブスクリプション whose accounts on GitHub are not linked, and who do not meet any of the other criteria for per-user pricing
  • Users who have been provisioned with a マネージド ユーザー アカウント, but are not members of any organizations in the enterprise
  • The scim-admin setup user, when SCIM is enabled on your GitHub Enterprise Server appliance. For more information, see the SCIM configuration guide License consumption by organization members.

Accounts that consume a license on GitHub Enterprise Server

After a user successfully authenticates to a GitHub Enterprise Server instance for the first time, the user consumes a seat.

Suspended users are not counted when calculating the number of licensed users consuming seats. For more information, see Suspending and unsuspending users.

Dormant users do occupy a seat license. Administrators can suspend dormant users to free licenses. For more information, see Managing dormant users.

About changes to your subscription

You can add more licensed seats to your enterprise at any time. If you pay for more seats than are being used, you can also reduce the number of seats. This only applies if you currently pay for your GitHub Enterprise licenses through a volume, subscription, or prepaid agreement.

If you use an enterprise account and have questions about changes to your subscription, contact GitHub の営業チーム.
