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 press click on the Account
tab to visit the account portal. Unlike cloud where only the account holder will be able to 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.
