# Configuring Subscription Management

Set up and configure Subscription Management.

## Configuration overview

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

1.  [Create a Subscription Management administrator](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/assign-usage-admin-v2.md)

    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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/share-subscription-data.md)

    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://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/configure-subscription-allocation-status-v2.md)

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