Hi Jonildo,

To enable GitHub Copilot Business with Azure Subscription billing, you’ll need to link your GitHub Enterprise organization to your Azure subscription through the Azure Portal. Here’s the process:

1️⃣ Verify prerequisites
• You must be an Enterprise Owner or Billing Manager in GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
• Your Azure subscription must have Microsoft Enterprise Agreement or Pay‑As‑You‑Go billing enabled.

2️⃣ Link GitHub Enterprise to Azure
• In the Azure Portal, go to Cost Management + Billing → Billing Accounts → Linked Accounts.
• Add your GitHub Enterprise organization using the same admin email.
• Confirm that the billing scope includes “GitHub Copilot Business.”

3️⃣ Activate Copilot Business
• In GitHub, navigate to Settings → Billing → Copilot → Business Plan.
• Select “Bill through Azure Subscription.”
• If you’ve already requested support, reply to your existing ticket with your Azure Subscription ID — this helps GitHub Support link the accounts manually.

4️⃣ Wait for confirmation
GitHub Support usually responds within 3–5 business days. Once approved, billing will appear under your Azure subscription automatically.

You’re on the right track — just ensure your organization and Azure billing account are linked correctly. After that, Copilot Business should activate smoothly.

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

See below my directions:

1. I am Global Administrator, Subscription Owner and my subscription is Pay-as-You-Go.
2. My GitHub Enterprise is linked to my Azure Subscription.

3. In Billing, Copilot Business is not disponible.
4. I have more 5 days that request enable option in ticket 4564428

In others paths, any option to upgrade to Copilot Business will direct to contact the Sales Team.
