Solution

Upgrade the old B2C Professional plan to a new B2C Professional plan and it will include a new feature, Teams. Under Teams, it is possible to link all the tenants under one subscription. All the tenants will have the same limitations and features of a B2C Professional plan, the same as the paid tenant.

To upgrade plans, please navigate to Auth0 Dashboard > Settings > Subscription tab.

  • On the Subscription tab, scroll to the panels describing the plan options.
  • Select a new plan(B2C Professional) and click Checkout to upgrade.
    • Billing information will need to be provided
  • Click Subscribe Now to confirm and activate the new subscription.
