# Add / Update

Subscribing is a simple and required step to start using Cloud Plans properly. When a Organization starts has 3 free resources and one plan to try our features (it means up to 3 resources and 3 credentials). But if you already tested CS and want to integrate more resources, you will need to subscribe to a plan. The subscriptions are fully fixed to your needs as you can set as many resources as you need (CP don't work with fixed packs). The unit/price depends on the quantity you subscribe and it is billed in steps using the following Pricing table: <https://www.cloudsscheduler.com/index.html#pricing>

### Steps

* Select an Organization
* Go to Billing -> Configuration on the vertical menu on the left side

### Updates

{% hint style="warning" %}
“When downgrading a subscription, the current usage of your subscription resources will be verified beforehand. If your organization exceeds the resource limits of the new subscription plan, the update operation will be declined. To proceed, you must reduce the number of resources to align with the limits of the new subscription plan. Additionally, if you update a plan, the proration will be applied immediately, and you will be charged accordingly.”
{% endhint %}

#### Payment Method
