+# Subscription setup and management
+
+This page will help get you started with your new subscription or manage an existing one, whether you have subscribed to GitLab.com or self-managed GitLab.
+
+To subscribe, upgrade, or read more about the types of subscriptions, please see [Subscribe to GitLab](../README.md#subscribe-to-gitlab) on the GitLab Documentation landing page.
+
+## Set up GitLab
+
+Learn how GitLab helps you in the stages of the DevOps lifecycle by learning more [about the GitLab product](https://about.gitlab.com/product/), [GitLab features](https://about.gitlab.com/features/), and [GitLab Documentation](../README.md).
+
+### Self-managed: Install GitLab
+
+Take a look at [installing GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/install/) and our [administrator documentation](../administration/index.md). Then, follow the instructions below under [Your subscription](#your-subscription) to apply your license file.
+
+### GitLab.com: Create a user and group
+
+Start with creating a user account for yourself using our [sign up page](https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in#register-pane).
+
+[GitLab groups](../user/group/index.md) help assemble related projects together allowing you to grant members access to several projects at once. A group is not required if you plan on having [projects](../user/project/) inside a personal namespace.
+
+## Your subscription
+
+You can view and manage subscriptions through our [Customers portal](https://customers.gitlab.com/). Information on applying your subscription is below.
+
+Please also see our [subscription FAQ](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/licensing-faq/)
+
+### View subscription and seats
+
+To view and manage the subscriptions you have purchased and the number of seats associated with the subscription, please visit and log into the [Customers’ Portal](https://customers.gitlab.com/subscriptions). For more information, please see our [subscription FAQ](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/licensing-faq/) and [pricing page](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/), which includes information on our [true-up pricing policy](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/pricing/#true-up-pricing) when adding more users than at the time of purchase.
+
+Please note that this account may have the same email, but is a _separate_ login from your GitLab.com account. If the two accounts are linked together, then you can use the "sign in with GitLab.com account" link underneath the `Sign In` button.
+
+### Change billing information
+
+In the customers portal, go to the `My Account` page, then revise the `Account Details` information and click on the `Update Account` button.
+
+Future purchases will use the information in this section. The email listed in this section is used for the Customers Portal login and for license related email communication.
+
+### Self-managed: Apply your license file
+
+After purchase, the license file is sent to the email address tied to the Customers portal account, which needs to be [uploaded to the GitLab instance](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/license.html#uploading-your-license).
+
+### Link your GitLab.com account with your Customers Portal account
+
+NOTE: **Note:** This is *required* for GitLab.com subscriptions.
+
+Once signed into the customers portal, if your account is not already linked, you should be prompted to link your account with a "Link my GitLab Account" button.
+
+You can also go to the [My Account](https://customers.gitlab.com/customers/edit) page to add or change the GitLab.com account link.
+
+### Change the linked GitLab.com account for your Customers Portal account
+
+To change which GitLab.com account is associated with a Customers Portal account, please follow these steps:
+
+1. Log into the [Customers Portal](https://customers.gitlab.com/customers/sign_in).
+1. In a separate browser tab, visit [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com) to ensure you are not logged in, or if you are, log out.
+1. Back on the Customers Portal page, click [My Account](https://customers.gitlab.com/customers/edit) in the top menu.
+1. Under `Your GitLab.com account`, click the `Change linked account` button.
+1. Have the user you want associated log in to their [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com) account.
+
+### GitLab.com: Associate your namespace with your subscription
+
+Once your GitLab.com account is linked, you can go to your [Subscriptions](https://customers.gitlab.com/subscriptions) page to choose or change the namespace your subscription applies to.
+
+Please note that you need to be a group owner to associate a group to your subscription.
+
+### Confirm or upgrade your GitLab.com subscription details within GitLab
+
+To see the status of your GitLab.com subscription, you can click on the Billings
+section of the relevant namespace:
+
+* For individuals, this is located at https://gitlab.com/profile/billings under
+in your Settings,
+* For groups, this is located under the group's Settings dropdown, under Billing.
+
+For groups, you can see details of your subscription - including your current
+plan - in the included table:
+
+![Billing table](billing_table.png)
+
+| Field | Description |
+| ------ | ------ |
+| Seats in subscription | If this is a paid plan, this represents the number of seats you've paid to support in your group. |
+| Seats currently in use | The number of active seats currently in use. |
+| Max seats used | The highest number of seats you've used. If this exceeds the seats in subscription, you may owe an additional fee for the additional users. |
+| Seats owed | If your max seats used exceeds the seats in your subscription, you'll owe an additional fee for the users you've added. |
+| Subscription start date | The date your subscription started. If this is for a Free plan, this is the date you transitioned off your group's paid plan. |
+| Subscription end date | The date your current subscription will end. This does not apply to Free plans. |
