Can I still buy G Suite Enterprise for Education?
G Suite Enterprise for Education (now known as Google Workspace for Education Plus) will still be available at current pricing until April 2021. At that point, customers seeking a comprehensive and comparable solution for their institution should consider the Education Plus edition.
For institutions purchasing individual G Suite Enterprise for Education licences, the annual MSRP is:
£42/user/year for faculty and staff
£42/user/year for students*
*G Suite Enterprise for Education licences will be complimentary for students if the following conditions are met:
- The faculty/staff-to-student ratio of licensing must be 1:10 or less.
- As long as all faculty and staff continue to have G Suite Enterprise for Education accounts.
Important: A G Suite Enterprise for Education 'full-domain licence' is licensed on a per user basis. It is not equivalent to a 'site licence' where every user in your domain is automatically granted an Enterprise licence. Please carefully review the number of users to whom you would like to assign a licence to ensure that they receive access to the premium functionality.
Are there differences in storage across editions?
All editions provide schools with 100 TB of storage shared across the institution. Additional storage is provided with the Teaching and Learning Upgrade and Education Plus editions based on the number of licences purchased. Please review our comparison chart for more details or visit our Help Centre.
Can I have more than one edition at the same time?
It depends and varies based on the intended combination of editions.
You must have an Education Fundamentals edition to upgrade to any of the other editions (Education Standard, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade or Education Plus).
You cannot have Education Plus in combination with Education Standard or the Teaching and Learning Upgrade – only Education Fundamentals.
You can have a combination of Education Standard and the Teaching and Learning Upgrade at the same time. Although we believe that the maximum value of those combined editions can be realised in Education Plus, we wanted to be as flexible as possible to school community needs.
Can I upgrade/downgrade between the editions?
All paid Google Workspace for Education editions are annual subscriptions, and pricing is locked for the duration of the subscription term.
Customers who purchase the Teaching and Learning Upgrade can add Education Standard at any time (and vice versa) as well as upgrade to Education Plus.
Customers can re-evaluate continuing with their subscription or downgrade at the end of their subscription term.
What is the duration of a paid Google Workspace for Education subscription?
All paid Google Workspace for Education editions are annual subscriptions, and pricing is locked for the duration of the subscription term.
