# Managing user licenses for an organization or enterprise
Add licenses to allow more people to join your organization or enterprise.
## Organizations on GitHub Team
If you're the **owner** or **billing manager** of an organization on a GitHub Team plan, you can add or remove user licenses to your plan through the "Licensing" page.
1. In the upper-right corner of GitHub, click your profile picture, then click ** Organizations**.
2. Select an organization by clicking on it.
3. Under your organization name, click ** Settings**. If you cannot see the "Settings" tab, select the **** dropdown menu, then click **Settings**.
4. On the left side of the page, in the organization sidebar, click ** Billing & Licensing**.
5. From the list of "Billing & licensing" pages, click **Licensing**.
6. In the GitHub Team banner, click **Edit** and select **Add seats** or **Remove seats**.
7. 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.
8. Click **Add seats** or **Remove seats**.
> \[!NOTE]
> **Remove seats** is only displayed when you have unassigned seats available.
### 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:
* [Removing a member from your organization](/en/organizations/managing-membership-in-your-organization/removing-a-member-from-your-organization)
* [Converting an organization member to an outside collaborator](/en/organizations/managing-user-access-to-your-organizations-repositories/managing-outside-collaborators/converting-an-organization-member-to-an-outside-collaborator)
* [Managing an individual's access to an organization repository](/en/organizations/managing-user-access-to-your-organizations-repositories/managing-repository-roles/managing-an-individuals-access-to-an-organization-repository)
## 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 [GitHub's Sales team](https://github.com/enterprise/contact).
* 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 [Usage-based billing for enterprise licenses](/en/billing/concepts/enterprise-billing/usage-based-licenses).
* If you are a self-serve customer with **volume license billing**, follow the instructions below.
### Self-serve customers with volume licenses

3. From the list of "Billing & licensing" pages, click **Licensing**.
