A: For Teams and enterprise organizations, user seats will be automatically added as you invite new users. You can specify a limit to prevent your seat count from exceeding a specific number.

To remove user seats, navigate to your organization's Billing → Subscription screen and use the Subscription Seats input to remove seats (learn more).

Adding and removing user seats will adjust your future billing totals. Adding seats will immediately charge your payment method on file at an adjusted rate so that you will only pay for the remainder of the billing cycle (month/year). Removing seats will cause your next charge to be adjusted so that you are credited for time not used by the already-paid-for seat.

A: In order to pay for a self-hosted instance of Bitwarden, you will need to create an account in the Bitwarden cloud via the web vault. From there, you can download the license file to apply to your self-hosted instance. Your license file will flag your access to premium features, so make sure that you download a new license file if you were previously on a free plan.

A: We have observed some users of Firefox get the following error message when submitting payment information for a Premium subscription:

You passed an empty string for 'payment_method_data[referrer]'. We assume empty values are an attempt to unset a parameter; however 'payment_method_data[referrer]' cannot be unset. You should remove 'payment_method_data[referrer]' from your request or supply a non-empty value.

This usually occurs when submitting your payment method is impeded by an installed browser Extension or configured Browser option.

Open Firefox in a Private Window and try resubmitting.
