Upgrading

Cloud hosted

From the side navigation press the Upgrade tab, alternatively you can click on the Account tab to visit the account portal and then click on the Upgrade tab.

📘

Accessing the account portal

Only the account holder will be able to access the account portal. The account holder is the user who first created the Budibase account and chose the domain e.g. acme.budibase.app. All other users will be prompted to contact the account holder to perform an upgrade. If your account holder is no longer available, please contact [email protected]

This will take you to the account upgrade page, where you can select your plan.
A detailed view of what's included is presented. The information available on the upgrade page is also available on https://budibase.com/pricing/.

Click the 'Upgrade' button on your selected plan and complete checkout via Stripe to finish upgrading your account.

Self-hosted

From the side navigation, click on the Account tab to visit the account portal. Unlike cloud where only the account holder can perform an upgrade, any self-hosted account can be used to upgrade a self-hosted installation.

🚧

Self-hosted vs Cloud account

It's important that when registering on https://account.budibase.app/ that the "self-host" option is chosen. A cloud account cannot be used to upgrade a self hosted installation as a license key will not be generated.

Accessing your license key

You can access your license key at any time via the License Key tab:

Copy either of the above methods' license keys and return them to your self-host installation.

Activating your installation

Visit your self-hosted installation, select the Account tab, then Upgrade, paste your license key into the activate area, and click the activate button.

Please navigate to the Upgrade page and proceed to click on the upgrade button corresponding to the plan you wish to upgrade to. Finally, complete the checkout process.
