    Article Summary

    You can add licenses to a Backblaze Business Group using two different methods.

    Add a License

    Use one of the following options to add a license.

    Add a License with a Payment Method

    When you add a payment method to your Group, you select the number of computers to back up. This action automatically purchases the number of licenses that you specify in that field.

    1. Sign in to your Backblaze account.
    2. In the left navigation menu under Business Groups, click Group Management.
    3. Click Buy.
    4. Enter the number of licenses that you want to purchase.
      The cost that is displayed is a prorated amount so that your billing is aligned.
    5. Enter your payment information, and click Buy.
      The number of licenses that you specified are automatically purchased.

    Add a License by Installing the Backblaze Client

    Another option to add a license is for a Group member to install the Backblaze client on their computer. If there are no unused licenses available in the group, one is automatically purchased when the billing cycle runs for the Group on the following day.

    Remove a Group License

    Group licenses cannot be removed from the user's Backblaze web console account. All of the licenses in your Group that are unused are removed when the Group billing runs, and they are not included in the renewal charge.

    If you need a license removed before the renewal date, reach out to the Support team.

    If a refund is required and the charge for unused licenses is within the last 30 days, Backblaze can issue a full refund for the charge. Contact the Support team for more information.
