+## Disabling {% data variables.product.prodname_GHAS %} in an enterprise
+
+To disable {% data variables.product.prodname_GHAS %} and prevent accidental re-enablement across your enterprise, enterprise owners can use the **Disable {% data variables.product.prodname_AS %}** option available in the enterprise licensing page. This is particularly useful for metered users who want to ensure {% data variables.product.prodname_GHAS %} is completely disabled and cannot be re-enabled without explicit approval.
+
+The **Disable {% data variables.product.prodname_AS %}** option:
+* Disables {% data variables.product.prodname_GHAS %} in all private and internal repositories
+* Sets a policy to prevent future paid adoption
+* Stops billing for future usage (metered billing only)

+If you want to immediately disable {% data variables.product.prodname_GHAS %} in all repositories, prevent organizations from re-enabling it and avoid unexpected billing charges, you can use the **Disable {% data variables.product.prodname_AS %}** option available in the enterprise licensing page. This is different from canceling your {% data variables.product.prodname_AS %} subscription:
+
+* **Canceling your subscription** stops future billing but does not disable {% data variables.product.prodname_GHAS %} in repositories or prevent re-enablement.
+* **Disabling {% data variables.product.prodname_AS %}** immediately disables {% data variables.product.prodname_GHAS %} in all private and internal repositories and sets a policy to prevent future paid adoption.

+1. To the right of "{% data variables.product.prodname_AS %}," click **Manage** and select the **Disable {% data variables.product.prodname_AS %}** option.
+1. In the modal dialog that is displayed, click **Disable {% data variables.product.prodname_AS %}** to confirm.
+
+   To re-enable {% data variables.product.prodname_GHAS %}, you'll need to update the policies for this feature in the **Policies** tab of your enterprise.
+
+## What happens to my bill?
+
+Once you have disabled {% data variables.product.prodname_GHAS %}:
+
+* If you use **volume billing**, you agreed to a number of licenses and billing period upfront. You'll continue to pay for the rest of this period.
+* If you use **metered billing**, you pay based on usage, and your billing will stop from next month. However, you _will_ continue paying for any licenses you've already consumed this month until the end of the month.
+
+  For example, if you had 10 licenses in use and disabled GHAS on the second day of the month, you will still be billed for your 10 licenses for the full month instead of just for the two days.
