GitHub Enterprise includes Copilot usage rights; AI consumption uses AI Credits
GitHub Enterprise now includes GitHub Copilot usage rights with the Enterprise seat at no extra license cost, according to Microsoft’s November 4 partner update.
AI usage is billed through AI Credits, so included access rights do not establish unlimited free AI consumption.
The announcement points partners to the GitHub Universe recap and its on-demand sessions for the wider set of developer and security announcements.
The immediate commercial distinction is between the right to access Copilot through an Enterprise seat and the consumption charges associated with using AI.
