Pick a billing account

To edit or purchase a Gemini Code Assist subscription, you must pick a billing account. Your Gemini Code Assist subscription is tied to a billing account and can be used with any project. You can only have one Gemini Code Assist subscription per billing account.

The following list shows possible ways to pick a billing account:

  • Manage subscriptions with project access.

    • If you don't have a subscription yet, click Get Gemini Code Assist to purchase one. Note that you must set up a billing account first.

    • If you have a subscription already but it's not associated with this billing account, click Manage subscriptions and then select a different billing account where you want to manage the subscription.

    • If you already have a subscription associated with your current billing account, click Manage Gemini Code Assist to navigate to the settings page. Then, click Manage Subscriptions to select and manage existing subscriptions.

  • Manage subscriptions without project access. If you have permission to manage subscriptions, select the product you want to edit or purchase. Then, select Manage Subscription and select a billing account.

  • Manage subscriptions for projects in a folder. If you start from a folder, you must select a billing account before you purchase a subscription, since billing accounts can't be directly associated with a folder.

Edit a Gemini Code Assist subscription

  1. In the Google API Console, go to the Admin for Gemini page.

    Go to Admin for Gemini

    The Admin for Gemini page loads.

  2. Use the project picker at the top of the page to ensure you are scoped to the project or folder that has an existing Gemini Code Assist subscription.

  3. Locate the Gemini Code Assist product tile, and then click Manage Gemini Code Assist.

  4. Select Manage subscription.

    The Manage subscription page appears.

  5. Select Manage subscription to edit the subscription, including:

    • Manage edition - If you're editing your Gemini Code Assist subscription, then you can upgrade from Standard edition to Enterprise edition, which takes effect immediately. Alternatively, you can downgrade from Enterprise edition to Standard edition, which takes effect at end of the current subscription term. To see a list of features available in each edition, see Supported features.

    • Increase or decrease the number of licenses in the subscription - Adding licenses makes them available to you almost immediately. However, if you reduce the number of licenses, then the changes won't take effect until the end of the subscription term. Additionally, the original license count is still reflected in your bill until the changes are applied.

    • Change the subscription period - You can set the subscription to bill monthly or annually. With an annual subscription, you are given a discounted rate that is charged on a monthly basis rather than a one-time payment. If you change from an annual subscription to a monthly subscription, then the change won't take effect until the end of the annual term. Additionally, you cannot change the subscription period unless you have enabled subscription auto-renewal.

    • Enable or disable auto-renewal - If you disable auto-renewal, the subscription expires at the end of the subscription term and all the licenses in the subscription become invalid. You cannot re-enable a subscription after it expires. Instead, you'll need to purchase a new subscription to re-assign those licenses. Additionally, if auto-renewal is disabled, then you can't make the following changes:

      • Reduce number of licenses
      • Change from annual to monthly subscription period
      • Change from Enterprise edition to Standard edition

  6. Select Continue, and then select Confirm changes.
