Body

Hi everyone,
I recently contacted the sales team to enable GitHub Copilot for our organization, and I was informed that there is a requirement to purchase a minimum of 10 licenses.
Has anyone else experienced this requirement? Do you know if this is an official policy, and where it is documented?
I haven’t been able to find any clear reference to this in the official documentation.
Thanks in advance!

Strange

When we contacted sales wanted 5 initially they never said that. Ticket is still open but with support to enable it - still waiting. But no. No one said min 10

The sales feedback was:
"Copilot Business is available for teams purchasing 10 or more licenses. If moving forward with at least 10 seats makes sense for your team, I’d be happy to help you evaluate the best option and walk you through the next steps."·

Maybe it depends of how it is configured?

We just got it enabled with just fewer lic (1 - for just testing access controls). But our payment method is via azure subscription.

Seats were never mentioned and we can add more seats as we go
