Question

A company is planning to adopt GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Enterprise Managed Users (EMU) for 400 developers. The finance team asks the enterprise administrator how their GitHub subscription will be billed under this deployment, so they can budget accurately for the fiscal year. Which statement correctly describes the licensing and billing model that applies to GHEC with EMU?

Accepted Answer

Billing is based on a per-user (per-seat) license count consumed by provisioned managed user accounts, and each managed user consumes exactly one license regardless of how many organizations they belong to in the enterprise.

Answer

Billing is purely metered based on the number of Actions minutes and Packages storage consumed, with no per-user seat charge because managed users are provisioned automatically by the IdP.

Answer

Each managed user consumes a separate license for every organization they are added to within the enterprise, so a developer in three organizations counts as three seats.

Answer

Managed users are free of seat charges, and the company is only invoiced for the underlying GitHub Enterprise Server virtual appliance instances that host the EMU accounts.
