Set up and configure Subscription Management.

## Configuration overview {#configuring-subscription-management-v2__section_zmp_x3n_qwb}

Subscription Management is free and active by default for all production instances and non-production instances. You do not have to activate a plugin.

1. [Create a Subscription Management administrator](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/IvRcHi9y~dOafiNoRZkcYw "Create a Subscription Management administrator by assigning the usage_admin role to an administrator.")

   Assign the usage_admin role to at least one user who will manage subscriptions for your organization.
2. [Share subscription data from another instance](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/V6L~V2Tb9N~vwVgXHQN5ig "View subscription data from another instance by enabling data sharing on that instance.")

   View subscription data from other production instances in areas of Subscription Management that provide account-level summaries of subscription usage.
3. [Configure subscription allocation status in Subscription Management](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/yyhhnnJuCykLSqskBzblYg "Identify when you're close to allocating all of your subscriptions by configuring an allocation status threshold if you prefer a threshold other than the default value of 90 percent in Subscription Management.")

   Configure the allocation status threshold using a percentage value that represents what near capacity means for your instance.
