I already have an account, how do I upgrade?

Head over to https://customers.gitlab.com , choose the plan that is right for you.

Can I add more users to my subscription?

Yes. You have a few options. You can add users to your subscription any time during the subscription period. You can log in to your account via the GitLab Customers Portal and add more seats or contact sales for a quote. In either case, the cost will be prorated from the date of quote/purchase through the end of the subscription period. You may also pay for the additional licenses per our true-up model.

How will I be charged for add-on users?

If you have quarterly subscription reconciliation enabled (default option for new and renewing subscriptions after Aug 1, 2021), users added during a quarter will only be charged for the remaining quarters of their subscription term as opposed to the full annual subscription fee(s) with annual true-ups. For example, if you add 50 users to your subscription during the third quarter of your subscription term, the 50 users will only be charged for the fourth quarter of your subscription term as opposed to all four quarters as per annual true-ups. If you do not have quarterly subscription reconciliation enabled, add-on users will be charged annual true-ups for the full term during which they were added. For example, if you have 100 active users today, you should purchase a 100 user subscription. Suppose that when you renew next year you have 300 active users (200 extra users). When you renew you pay for a 300 user subscription and you also pay the full annual fee for the 200 users that you added during the year.

What happens when my subscription is about to expire or has expired?

If you most recently used an Activation Code to activate your GitLab Paid Plan, once you renew your subscription the new subscription terms will synchronize to your GitLab Self-Managed instance during the next license sync . If you most recently used a license key, you will receive a new license that you will need to upload to your GitLab instance. This can be done by following these instructions {:data-ga-name="licence"}{:data-ga-location="body"}.

What happens if I decide not to renew my subscription?

14 days after the end of your subscription, your key will no longer work and GitLab Enterprise Edition will not be functional anymore. You will be able to downgrade to GitLab Community Edition, which is free to use.

Can I acquire a mix of licenses?

No, all users in the GitLab.com group or on the self-managed instance need to be on the same plan.

How does the license key work?

The license key is a static file which, upon uploading, allows GitLab Enterprise Edition to utilize paid features. During license upload we check that the active users on your GitLab Enterprise Edition instance doesn't exceed the new number of users. During the licensed period you may add as many users as you want. The license key will expire after one year for GitLab subscribers. As of 2022, license keys are a legacy method to activate GitLab paid plans and have been substituted by an Activation Code for most paid subscriptions.

What is an Activation Code?

An Activation Code refers to the GitLab's method for activating your self-managed subscription with Cloud Licensing, which provides a more seamless subscription experience. This is required for all customers on version 14.1 or higher. For more information on Cloud Licensing, please see What is Cloud Licensing? as well as How do I activate with an Activation Code? .

What features and permissions are available to Enterprise Agile Planning users?

Enterprise Agile Planning add-on users should be invited with Reporter access, providing them the ability to view and interact with project information, including issues, milestones, and boards. This level of access ensures that non-technical stakeholders can stay informed about project progress and provide valuable input. View permissions for Reporter users here .

What are compute minutes?

Compute minutes are used during the execution time for your pipelines on our hosted runners for GitLab.com . Execution on your own runners will not use your compute minutes and is unlimited.

What happens if I use all of my compute minutes?

If you use all of your compute minutes, you can manage your compute minutes usage , purchase additional compute minutes , or upgrade your account to Premium or Ultimate. Your own runners can still be used even if you reach your limits.

Does the quota of compute minutes apply to all runners?

No. We will only restrict for our hosted runners for GitLab.com only. If you have a specific runner setup for your projects , there is no limit to your build time on GitLab.com .

Does the quota of compute minutes increase depending on the number of users in the group, or the number of users in the subscription?

No. The quota will be applied to a group, no matter the number of users in the group or the number of users in the subscription.

Why do I need to enter credit/debit card details for free compute minutes?

There has been a massive uptick in abuse of free compute minutes available on GitLab.com to mine cryptocurrencies - which creates intermittent performance issues for GitLab.com users. To discourage such abuse, credit/debit card details are required if you choose to use hosted runners for GitLab.com . Credit/debit card details are not required if you bring your own runner or disable GitLab.com instance runners. When you provide the card, it will be verified with a one-dollar authorization transaction. No charge will be made and no money will transfer. Learn more here {data-ga-name="crypto mining"}{data-ga-location="body"}.

Is there a different compute minutes limit for public projects?

Yes. Public projects created after 2021-07-17 will have an allocation of compute minutes as follows: Free tier - 50,000 compute minutes, Premium tier - 1,250,000 compute minutes, Ultimate tier - 6,250,000 compute minutes.

Can I bring my own GitLab CI runners?

Yes, you can bring your own GitLab CI runner with all plans.
