If your current subscription is on the Flexible Plan, select a payment plan for your new subscription:
- Flexible Plan—No long-term commitment, pay for the users that you have each month, and add or remove users as needed.
- Annual Plan (Monthly Payment)—Requires a one-year contract. Pay a monthly user commitment and add users as needed. To increase the number of users, for users needed, enter a new number. The Annual Plan is not available when you downgrade to a lower-level edition.
-
If your current subscription is on the Annual Plan (yearly or monthly payments), select Annual Plan (Monthly Payment) as the payment plan for your new subscription.

(Optional) To add a promotional code, for Flexible Plan, click Add promotion code and enter the code.

Previously purchased Drive storage or Vault licenses can 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 for Nonprofits licenses. For the steps, go to Assign, remove, and reassign licenses.
(Optional) Step 2: Set up archiving with Google Vault
For instructions, go to Set up Vault for your organization.
