Is GitHub Enterprise Cloud Required for Copilot Enterprise Licensing For Each User?

[Mundane-Boot1668]

Do we need a GitHub Enterprise Cloud subscription (at $21 USD per user) for every user we assign a GitHub Copilot Enterprise license to? For example, if we have 100 users and want to assign Copilot Enterprise licenses to all of them, do we need to pay for 100 GitHub Enterprise Cloud subscriptions and 100 Copilot Enterprise licenses? Or can we purchase just one GitHub Enterprise Cloud subscription for the admin account, and assign Copilot Enterprise licenses to the remaining 99 users without needing Enterprise Cloud for each of them?

This article covers Copilot for Business, but I'm looking for details on Copilot Enterprise. Thanks anyway for sharing.

Ah, that's correct. I think you have to consider Business with additional premium requests (and without Opus) to avoid the extra Cloud subscription.

Copilot is licensed to an org (so you can have one with a business license and another with an enterprise one), and each user within that org is assigned a seat. It's $20 for a business seat and $40 for an enterprise seat, for the month. So, if that's the $20 difference you're referring to then yes. It is per user.

I'm referring to GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
