#### Users over License
#### Seats owed
A GitLab subscription is valid for a specific number of users. For details, see
[Choose the number of users](#choose-the-number-of-users).
If the number of [billable users](#view-your-gitlab-saas-subscription) exceeds the number included in the subscription, known
as the number of _users over license_, you must pay for the excess number of
users either before renewal, or at the time of renewal. This is also known the
_true up_ process.
as the number of _seats owed_, you must pay for the excess number of users before renewal.
##### Seats owed example
You purchase a subscription for 10 users.
| Event | Billable members | Maximum users |
|:---------------------------------------------------|:-----------------|:--------------|
| Ten users occupy all 10 seats. | 10 | 10 |
| Two new users join. | 12 | 12 |
| Three users leave and their accounts are removed. | 9 | 12 |
Seats owed = 12 - 10 (Maximum users - users in subscription)
### Renew or change a GitLab SaaS subscription
You can adjust the number of users before renewing your GitLab SaaS subscription.
Starting 30 days before a subscription expires, GitLab notifies group owners
of the date of expiry with a banner in the GitLab user interface.
- To renew for more users than are currently included in your GitLab SaaS plan, [add users to your subscription](#add-users-to-your-subscription).
- To renew for fewer users than are currently included in your GitLab SaaS plan,
[remove](#remove-billable-user) the user accounts you no longer need.
We recommend following these steps during renewal:
1. Prune any [inactive or unwanted users](#remove-billable-user).
1. Determine if you have a need for user growth in the upcoming subscription.
1. Log in to the [Customers Portal](https://customers.gitlab.com/customers/sign_in) and beneath your existing subscription, select the **Renew** button.
1. Review your renewal details and complete the payment process.
1. Select **Confirm purchase**.
Your updated subscription is applied to your namespace on the renewal period start date.
An invoice is generated for the renewal and available for viewing or download on the [View invoices](https://customers.gitlab.com/receipts) page. If you have difficulty during the renewal process, contact our [support team](https://support.gitlab.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000071293) for assistance.
