The foundation of your bill is the number of user accounts using your enterprise.
GitHub 使用唯一的用户许可模型。 使用 GitHub Enterprise 计划时,你有权同时使用 GitHub Enterprise Cloud 和 GitHub Enterprise Server。 GitHub Enterprise Cloud 限额包括在 GitHub.com 或 GHE.com 上进行的一个部署****。
GitHub 会根据部署中的唯一用户数量来确定所使用的许可席位。 每个用户只使用一个许可证,无论该用户使用多少个 GitHub Enterprise Server 实例,或者在 GitHub Enterprise Cloud 部署上该用户是多少个组织的成员。 此模型允许每个人使用多个 GitHub Enterprise 部署,而不产生额外费用。
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
注意
- 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.
- 如果被邀请者在 7 天内未接受邀请,则待处理的邀请将自动过期。
- 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:
- 托管用户帐户 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 企业中的角色)
- Users of 包含 GitHub Enterprise 的 Visual Studio 订阅 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 托管用户帐户, 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 配置 SCIM 预配以管理用户.
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 的销售团队.
