# Billing

> Use billing state to understand when FiveMesh services unlock for a workspace.

Billing controls whether the active workspace can use FiveMesh services.

The dashboard treats active and trialing subscriptions as service access. When a workspace does not have active access, CDN, Cache and Voice setup remain locked.

Voice can also require a plan that includes the service. Use the pricing page and dashboard billing state as the source of truth for current plan limits.

## What to check

Open **Billing** from the dashboard sidebar to review the current workspace subscription state.

Check billing when:

* A service says an active subscription is required.
* A checkout or plan change just completed.
* You switched from personal workspace to an organization.
* You expected an organization to share services but the service is still locked.

## Access states

| State                                   | What to do                                                                   |

| Active or trialing                      | Continue to service setup.                                                   |
| No active subscription                  | Pick a plan or complete checkout.                                            |
| Billing needs attention                 | Update the subscription before access changes.                               |
| Organization has no shared subscription | Ask the owner to activate billing or switch back to your personal workspace. |
