Purchasing a New Seat

Most accounts have a set amount of seats to fill that was chosen to fit your current business needs and allows you to grow. If you have hit that limit, adding one to a couple additional seat is easy. If you need more than a couple seats, contact your account representative to confirm the best course of action.
