License Renewal and Request Process
As of January 2022, GitLab funding will be provided by the Campus Software assessment. DoIT Purchasing and User Services will coordinate future license renewals.
GitLab indicated that they are willing to support issuing multiple licenses at no additional cost. This would allow other groups on Campus to host their own on premise or cloud instance. DoIT needs to complete an evaluation of options for issuing licenses and confirm a preferred approach. Options include:
- Groups working directly with GitLab to receive GitLab Ultimate tier licenses
- DoIT submitting requests to GitLab for additional licenses and monitoring the number of licenses on Campus
