How to upgrade to G Suite for Education Enterprise

To upgrade to enterprise, contact the Google reseller that you used to purchase your Chromebooks or Chromebook licenses.

Tip: you can view your reseller by logging into the Google Admin console and visiting the “billing” app. Your reseller will be listed on this page.

If you don’t have a reseller, you are welcome to contact my friends at Promevo (not a sponsor). They helped me upgrade my domain.

    Thank you. I look forward to your future episodes.

    So do the teachers and staff only need to be upgraded? I don’t think students would benefit from these features, correct?
