Subscription Management is free and active by default for all production instances and non-production instances. You don't have to activate a plugin.

1. Create a Subscription Management administrator

   Assign the usage_admin role to at least one user who will manage subscriptions for your organization.

2. Share subscription data from another instance

   View subscription data from other production instances in areas of Subscription Management that provide account-level summaries of subscription usage.
