Overview of AppSheet Enterprise licensing models
AppSheet Enterprise licenses are provisioned in one of the following ways:
| Assigned licensing (Default model) |
Team licensing (Legacy model) |
|
New AppSheet Enterprise customers with an existing Google Workspace account are required to assign licenses through the Workspace Admin Console. If a Workspace user has not been assigned an Enterprise license, then they retain their AppSheet entitlement, if applicable, or access to the free plan. |
The legacy approach to provisioning AppSheet Enterprise provides access to all users in the customer’s verified domain. Any user that shares the customer's domain in their email address gets access to AppSheet Enterprise regardless of license assignment in the Workspace Admin Console. New non-Workspace customers can purchase AppSheet Enterprise using the team licensing model by working with with their AppSheet Sales representative.
Legacy customers and non-Workspace customers can remain on the team licensing model, or can work with their AppSheet Sales representative to switch to assigned licensing using the Workspace admin console.

Benefits of assigned licensing
Benefits of assigned licensing include the ability to do the following:
- Control access to the AppSheet Enterprise subscription.
- Review and manage billing in the Workspace Admin Console.
- Automatically assign licenses to organizational units, as required.
- Enable a dual-license environment (for example, AppSheet Core and AppSheet Enterprise users).
Comparison of features with assigned and team licensing
The following table compares AppSheet features and their behaviors with each licensing model.
| Feature | Assigned licensing | Team licensing |
| App creation and sharing |
Only users that have been assigned a license have access to AppSheet Enterprise. App creators can share licenses with users using the Share dialog. It's up to the Workspace admin to ensure that they have the required licenses. |
All users that share a domain with the root admin have access to the same AppSheet Enterprise entitlement. App creators can share licenses with users using the Share dialog. It's up to the admin to ensure that they have the required licenses. |
| Access and billing |
Customers on a commit plan are billed for a pre-negotiated number of users regardless of usage. Customers on a flex plan are billed for assigned licenses; only users that have been assigned a license can access and use AppSheet Enterprise. |

| Governance |
You should not expect to be able to govern (that is, enforce policies, apply team settings, etc.) users that are not assigned an AppSheet Enterprise license. For legacy reasons, this restriction may not always be enforced, but to reliably govern a set of users they all need to be upgraded to AppSheet Enterprise. Users that have AppSheet Core are also subject to the policies and team management settings defined by the admin with AppSheet Enterprise. |
All users in a customer’s domain, regardless of Enterprise license assignment, are subject to governance policies and team management settings. Users that have AppSheet Core are also subject to the policies and team management settings defined by the admin with AppSheet Enterprise. |
