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.

Yes sir! ?
Hello John,
Our district did upgrade, and I really enjoyed listening to your podcast on the way to work this morning. Very informative.
Thank you. I look forward to your future episodes.

Thanks for the feedback, Lois! ❤️?
I upgraded my school especially to get the Meet features but I will be using the security features too
So do the teachers and staff only need to be upgraded? I don’t think students would benefit from these features, correct?
