Step 1: Upgrade your subscription

If you have Google Vault, make sure you don’t accidentally lose data. Before upgrading, follow these steps.

When you upgrade, everyone gets the same subscription. For example, you can’t upgrade some users to use G Suite Business features while others keep using G Suite Basic.

Note: If you purchased G Suite from a reseller (and not through Google): Contact your reseller to upgrade your subscription.

  1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

    Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).

  2. From the Admin console Home page, go to Billing.
  3. Under Available upgrades, next to G Suite Business or G Suite Enterprise, click Find Out More.
  4. In the bottom right, click Get started.
  5. (Optional) In the Promotion Code field, enter any promotional code you may have.
  6. Click Continue.
  7. Check the box that appears on the screen to indicate that you have read the terms of the agreement and click Continue.

If you previously purchased Drive storage or Google Vault licenses: In some cases, these licenses for Drive storage and Vault may remain assigned after you upgrade. To avoid charges for these licenses, check and remove any individual Drive and Vault licenses from users who received G Suite Business or G Suite Enterprise licenses.

(Optional) Step 2: Set up archiving with Google Vault

If you haven’t yet set up archiving with Google Vault, see Get started: Vault administrators.
