Hello!

My account is currently on the Education plan, but I’ve already reached the usage limit. I originally received the Education plan when I was studying in a course.

Now I am working in Figma as part of a team, and I see that I need to verify my Education status. The issue is that I no longer have valid proof of enrollment, so I cannot verify as a student.

I would like to purchase a paid plan instead, but I noticed that plans can only be purchased for a team. If I buy a plan for my own team, I won’t be able to transfer that subscription to the team I was added to.

Could you please advise me what the best solution is in this case? Should I create and pay for a new team, or is there a way to upgrade my individual account while still working inside my current team?

Thank you for your support!

Hi ​@Timur Hasanov ,

 

Since you’re no longer eligible for the Education plan, the best next step depends on how you’d like to continue working with your team.

 

Figma plans are tied to teams, not individual accounts. This means:

  1. If you need edit access within your current Education team, you would need to verify your Education status.

  2. If you create a new Professional team, or if the owner of your Education team upgrades it to a Professional plan, anyone who needs edit access will need to be assigned a paid Professional seat within that team.

 

Given your situation, option 2 may be the most suitable path.
If you decide to create a new Professional team and want to transfer your files from your Education plan, we have guides that walk you through how to move files and projects across teams:

Thanks!
