| 9 | +## Why Upgrade to Premium? |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +CrowdSec Premium features are designed for users who have **commercial usage** of the Console or organizations that want to **enhance the security posture** of their infrastructure. |
| 12 | +While our Community Plan provides essential security monitoring capabilities, Premium unlocks advanced features that scale with your business needs and provide business-grade protection. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Premium features bring the following benefits: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +- **Scalability**: |
| 17 | + - Extra centralization and synchronization features |
| 18 | + - Extended data retention |
| 19 | + - Automation and API access for large-scale deployments |
| 20 | +- **Advanced Threat Detection & Qualification**: |
| 21 | + - Attack surge detection |
| 22 | + - Premium proactive blocking with AI-powered blocklists |
| 23 | + - Background noise filtering |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +A features comparison can be found on our [pricing page](https://app.crowdsec.net/pricing). |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Optimal Premium Upgrade Setup |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +When upgrading to a Premium plan, you may not want to upgrade every single Security Engine you monitor. It is common to have a mix of environments: |
| 30 | +- **Production:** Requires Premium features (longer data retention, heavy API limits, organization-wide blocklists). |
| 31 | +- **Dev / Test / Staging:** Can remain on the Free tier. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Because the Premium Upgrade applies to an entire **Organization**, the optimal strategy is to separate your Security Engines into different contexts before subscribing. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +When you first create a Console account, your workspace is your "Personal Account". |
| 36 | +As a Community account, you can create one extra organization for free. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +We recommend the following setup: |
| 39 | +- If you have not already, create a new organization for your **Production** environment. |
| 40 | +- Keep your **Dev / Test / Staging** Security Engines in your **Personal Account**. |
| 41 | +- Move your **Production** Security Engines to the new **Production** organization. |
| 42 | +- Upgrade the **Production** organization to **Premium**. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +To split your Security Engines into different organizations, use either: |
| 45 | +- The [Transfer feature](/u/console/security_engines/transfer_engine) from the Security Engine page. |
| 46 | +- Or via `cscli`, re-enroll your Security Engines in the desired organization with the `--overwrite` flag to force moving them to the new organization. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +After the transfer, the alerts will reappear in the new organization after a few minutes. |
