Stefan's organization pays for 50 seats every year on May 20th. If Stefan removes 20 seats and downgrades to a new total of 30 paid seats on September 30, his organization can still access its 50 paid seats until the end of its current billing cycle on May 19th. On May 20th, the downgrade will take effect - Stefan's organization will pay for 30 seats and will have access to 30 paid seats.

If you want to stop paying for {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} altogether and your company pays via invoice, contact {% data variables.contact.contact_enterprise_sales %}. If you have a self-serve enterprise account, an enterprise account owner must remove or delete all organizations from the enterprise first. Removing an organization from an enterprise automatically downgrades the organization to {% data variables.product.prodname_free_team %}.

### 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:

## Enterprises on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}
46+
47+
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 {% data variables.product.github %} UI.
48+
49+
To add or remove licenses from your enterprise account:
50+
51+
* If you **pay by invoice**, contact your account manager in {% data variables.contact.contact_enterprise_sales %}.
52+
* 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 [AUTOTITLE](/billing/concepts/enterprise-billing/usage-based-licenses).
53+
* If you are a self-serve customer with **volume license billing**, follow the instructions below.
54+
55+
### Self-serve customers with volume licenses
56+
57+
1. Navigate to your enterprise account.
58+
{% data reusables.billing.enterprise-billing-menu %}
59+
1. In the left sidebar, click **Licensing**.
60+
1. Next to "Enterprise Cloud", click **{% octicon "kebab-horizontal" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="kebab-horizontal" %}**, then click **Manage licenses**.
61+
1. Choose your number of licenses, then click **Confirm licenses**.
