# Changing your subscription plan

This page explains how to upgrade to or downgrade from a subscription plan, and how to change the Lines of Code (LOC) limit of your organization or enterprise.

### Changing the LOC limit of your subscription <a href="#changing-loc" id="changing-loc"></a>

If you have a monthly subscription, you can change your LOC (Lines of Code) limit in the UI. Otherwise, [contact our team](https://www.sonarsource.com/company/contact/). For more information about the LOC, see [#loc-based-pricing](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/subscription-plans#loc-based-pricing "mention").

{% hint style="info" %}
You cannot change the LOC of a legacy paid plan. You can only migrate your legacy paid plan organization to Free or upgrade it to Team or Enterprise. See above.
{% endhint %}

### Upgrading to the Enterprise plan <a href="#upgrading-to-enterprise" id="upgrading-to-enterprise"></a>

See [setting-up-your-enterprise](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/getting-started-with-enterprise/setting-up-your-enterprise "mention") for more information.

### Downgrading from Enterprise <a href="#downgrading-from-enterprise" id="downgrading-from-enterprise"></a>

When you downgrade an organization, the downgrade will take effect on the next billing cycle.

Before downgrading, see [#feature-loss-on-downgrade](#feature-loss-on-downgrade "mention").

When you remove an organization from your enterprise, the organization is automatically downgraded to the plan of your choice. See [#removing-org-from-enterprise](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/managing-enterprise/adding-organizations-to-your-enterprise#removing-org-from-enterprise "mention").

### Downgrading from Team <a href="#downgrading-from-team" id="downgrading-from-team"></a>

When you downgrade an organization, the downgrade will take effect on the next billing cycle.

Before downgrading, see [#feature-loss-on-downgrade](#feature-loss-on-downgrade "mention").

To downgrade from Team:

1. Retrieve your organization. See [viewing-organizations](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/getting-started/viewing-organizations "mention") for more details.
2. Select the **Billing & Upgrade** tab.
3. In the **Current plan** section, select **Modify plan**.
4. On the new page, click the **visit our compare plan page** link. A new page displays a summary of the different plans.
5. In the **Free** column, select **Downgrade to Free**.\
   SonarQube Cloud checks if your organization complies with the Free plan’s limit (maximum number of members). If not, a warning is displayed, and you are guided through the steps necessary to make your organization comply with this limit. Once this is done, you will be able to proceed to the next step.
6. Select **Next step**.
7. You can now review the plan changes: what you will gain and what you will lose. Select **Next step**.
8. If you agree to downgrade, enter your organization name and select **Downgrade organization**. Otherwise, select **Cancel download**.

### Moving from OSS to Free <a href="#moving-from-oss-to-free" id="moving-from-oss-to-free"></a>

If you want to change your OSS plan organization, you can only move it to Free. In that case, you will be able to analyze private projects but you will loose access to the advanced features listed in [#oss-plan](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/subscription-plans#oss-plan "mention").

To move your organization from OSS to Free:

1. Retrieve your organization. See [viewing-organizations](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/getting-started/viewing-organizations "mention") for more details.
2. Select the **Billing & Upgrade** tab.
3. In **Current plan**, select **Modify plan**.&#x20;
4. Select the Free plan.

### Changing your legacy paid plan <a href="#changing-legagy-plan" id="changing-legagy-plan"></a>

The legacy paid plan has been replaced by the new Team plan. It will soon no longer be supported.

Before migrating, determine the number of private lines (LOC) your organization needs and check the features of each plan. For more information, see [subscription-plans](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-subscription/subscription-plans "mention").

To migrate your organization to another plan:

1. Retrieve your organization. See [viewing-organizations](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/getting-started/viewing-organizations "mention") for more details.
2. Select the **Billing & Upgrade** tab.
3. In **Current plan**, select **Modify plan** and follow the instructions to select your new plan.

If your organization doesn’t comply with the new plan’s limits (maximum number of members and maximum LOC), a warning is displayed, and you are guided through the steps necessary to make your organization comply with these limits.

### Terminating a monthly subscription <a href="#terminating" id="terminating"></a>

A monthly subscription is automatically renewed. To terminate it, you can delete it (see [deleting-organization](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/creating-organization/deleting-organization "mention")) or downgrade it to Free (see [#downgrading-from-team](#downgrading-from-team "mention")).

### Reviewing the feature loss before a downgrade <a href="#feature-loss-on-downgrade" id="feature-loss-on-downgrade"></a>

When you downgrade:

* The maximum number of LOC you can analyze in your private projects will decrease if you downgrade from Team to Free. If your currently LOC used is over the maximum LOC of the target plan, you won’t be able to analyze all your current private projects anymore. This means also automatic project provisioning through your CI/CD pipeline will create public projects.
* You may lose access to features: see the table below. In particular, be aware of the downgrade impacts explained in the **If you lose it during the downgrade** column.
