Kia ora, I had a message from a principal who would like to upgrade their Gemini version to the paid subscription version (other principals have this it seems) - is this doable via Admin backend or a "pay Cyclone" type of setup?

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere, I had a quick look though the admin area and could not find anything under billing.


cheers

Heya William

Is this the service you're wanting?


It looks like it's discounted to NZD$22.50/user/month at the moment.

Maybe try the 'Contact Sales' button there. Then let us all know how you get on so the hive mind can learn :)

Pete

If you go to the Admin console, you can go to Billing -> Buy or Upgrade you can self purchase from there with a credit card.
You're after the "Gemini for Google Workspace" option.
(source: have done this for my principal)

Second what Jake has said, you do it yourself through the Admin Console > Billing > Buy or Upgrade > Gemini for Google Workspace. I did it for the boss a couple of months ago.

Once you purchase the required number of licences, you assign like you would the other Workspace licences. EZPZ.

Thanks Jake,

This is interesting when compared to the URL from Pete which shows $22.5/mth

Thanks Adam, I have passed on both options to this principal for their response.  If they ask me to sort it out I will report back what the process was like.

I double agree with Adam and Jake,
Either your ICT provider can order and bill you or just do credit card via the admin console as per below
