Enterprises with a Copilot Business plan

In this article

Note

You must already have a paid Copilot Business plan to upgrade to Copilot Enterprise. Trial plans are not eligible for upgrade.

  1. Go to the access management page for your enterprise. Temporarily, the location of this page varies depending on whether your enterprise has been migrated to the new UI for direct Copilot licensing.

    • First, try https://github.com/enterprises/YOUR-ENTERPRISE/enterprise_licensing/copilot, replacing YOUR-ENTERPRISE with your enterprise's slug.

    • If you receive a 404 error, go to https://github.com/enterprises/YOUR-ENTERPRISE/settings/copilot.

    Tip

    If you use GitHub Enterprise Cloud with data residency, replace github.com with SUBDOMAIN.ghe.com.

  2. If you don't already see a list of organizations, under "Copilot access", click the Organizations tab.

  3. Locate the organization for which you want to upgrade Copilot.

  4. To the right of the organization name, select the Copilot dropdown menu, and click Copilot Enterprise.

Next steps

After upgrading to Copilot Enterprise, you can assign Copilot Enterprise or Copilot Business to individual organizations in the enterprise. See Granting users access to GitHub Copilot in your enterprise.

Troubleshooting plan migrations

When transitioning between different Copilot plans, you may encounter situations that require support.

Trial expiration notices

If you see a trial expiration notice but have an active paid subscription, this is a display issue and does not affect your access. If this persists, contact GitHub Support.

Migrations requiring support assistance

Some migrations cannot be completed through self-service options.

  • Changing between Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise: If you need to migrate between these plans within your enterprise and the option isn't available in your "Billing & Licensing" settings, contact GitHub Support or your account manager for assistance.
  • Non-enterprise to enterprise environment migrations: When moving from standalone Copilot plans to a GitHub Enterprise environment, contact GitHub Support or your account manager for assistance to avoid service interruption.
