Subscribe to Looker Studio Pro

Start a new Pro subscription

You can start a new Looker Studio Pro subscription in the following ways:

  • From within Looker Studio
  • From the Google Cloud console

Looker customers start here instead

Organizations that use Looker can receive complimentary Looker Studio Pro licenses. Select your version for instructions on how to subscribe and redeem these licenses:

Before you begin

Looker Studio Pro is available for Google Workspace or Cloud Identity Premium accounts. You are not currently signed in. To use Looker Studio Pro, sign in using a Workspace/Cloud Identity account (does not end in @gmail.com).

To set up a self-service subscription to Looker Studio Pro, you must meet all of the following requirements:

  • You must be a Google Workspace or Cloud Identity user to subscribe to or use Looker Studio Pro.
  • You will need to provide a valid Google Cloud project that is linked to a billing account. Learn how to set up a Google Cloud billing account.
  • You must have the Owner (roles/owner) or Looker Studio Pro Manager (roles/lookerstudio.proManager) IAM role on the Google Cloud project that you use for Looker Studio Pro.
  • You must have the resourcemanager.projects.updateLiens permission on the Google Cloud project that you use for Looker Studio Pro. This is required so that Google Cloud can create a lien on the Google Cloud project, which helps to prevent accidental deletion of your Looker Studio Pro assets.
    The resourcemanager.projects.updateLiens permission is granted by the Owner, Looker Studio Pro Manager, and Project Lien Modifier roles. If you are creating custom roles to manage Looker Studio Pro, be sure to include this permission in the role.
  • Your organization must own the Google Cloud project that you use for Looker Studio Pro.
  • You must belong to the same organization that owns the Google Cloud project that is used for the subscription. (For example, you can't make someone who is outside your organization an owner on the project and have that outside user subscribe to Looker Studio Pro on behalf of the organization.)
  • The Google Cloud project that you use for Looker Studio Pro must not currently be in use for a Pro subscription.

For more information about granting Cloud IAM roles, see Manage access. You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles.

Tip: We recommend that you select or create a new project that is dedicated to Looker Studio Pro. Learn more about selecting a Cloud project for Looker Studio Pro.
