# How to increase your designer count for a dedicated or self-hosted enterprise server

## How to Increase Your Designer Count (Dedicated or Self-Hosted)

If you're using a **Dedicated Server** or **Self-Hosted deployment** of AllSpice and need to add more designers, this guide walks you through the process.

Increasing your designer count allows additional users to:

- Write and modify repository files
- Push and pull changes
- Count as billable designers under your agreement

## Cloud (hub.allspice.io) Users

If you are using AllSpice Cloud on hub.allspice.io, you do **not** need to follow this process.

Instead:

- Adjust seats directly in your [Organization Billing Portal](https://allspice.document360.io/docs/how-to-access-your-billing-portal)
- Or invite users to Teams with File Write access  

[How to invite users to Teams](https://allspice.document360.io/docs/how-to-invite-or-add-people-to-your-organizations-teams)

If you are on Dedicated or Self-Hosted, continue below.

## Step 1: Determine How Many Designers You Need

Review your current team and determine:

- How many additional users require **Write access to Files**
- Which users will count as paid designers

Remember: A user is only counted once toward your designer total, even if they belong to multiple Teams.

---

## Step 2: Contact AllSpice

Email: **payments@allspice.io**

Include:

- The number of additional designers requested
- Your organization name

We will send you an order form for review and signature.

---

## Step 3: Submit Required Documents

Once you receive the order form, return the following to **payments@allspice.io**:

1. Signed order form
2. Purchase Order (PO) for the amount listed
3. List of usernames and email addresses to be added

---

### Billing Note

New designers are billed at a **pro-rated rate** for the remainder of your 12-month term.

All designers will align to the same renewal date going forward.

---

## Step 4: Account Provisioning

After we receive your signed order form and PO:

- We provision the additional designer capacity
- We notify you once the accounts are ready
- You can then assign users to Teams with File Write access

---

## How to Verify Your Designer Count

You can view your current designers in your Organization settings.

- Paid designers display the **“Designer”** label
- Collaborators do not count toward billing
- Each user is counted only once, regardless of how many Teams they belong to
