Organization Sponsorship Guide

Company Initial Setup

1. Create a GitHub Organization (if none exists):

   • Go to GitHub Organizations
   • Choose "Free" plan (sponsored licenses work with free Orgs)
   • Designate at least one maintainer

2. Add Employees to Org:

   • Invite team members via their GitHub accounts
   • Members must accept invitation before license allocation

3. Sponsorship Requirement:

   • The Org must be an active sponsor of:

     https://github.com/sponsors/johnsoncodehk
     

Eligibility

• Only GitHub Organization members are eligible for sponsored licenses.
• Personal GitHub accounts (outside an Org) require manual approval.

License Activation

Employees must either:

• Click "Verify Sponsor Status" on Vue (Official) welcome page, OR
• Execute command:

  Vue: Verify Sponsor Status
  

  Then select "via GitHub Organization"

Default License Allocation

• Licenses are automatically granted to all members of your GitHub Organization.
• If your Org exceeds the sponsored tier’s seat limit:
  • Members are prioritized by join date (earliest members first).

Whitelist (Optional)

To explicitly specify licensed members:

1. Create a public Team named exactly:

   vue-official-licensed
   

2. Add target members to this Team.
3. The plugin will only grant licenses to members in this Team.

Non-Org Accounts

For sponsoring non-Org members (e.g., contractors):

• Contact us for manual setup.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the vue-official-licensed team (If exists) is public.
• Changes may take 30 minutes to sync.
• Members must have accepted Org invitations.
• Verify Org sponsorship is active.
