+## {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} without a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license
+
+{% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} is also available on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} for organization members **without a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license**, when enabled by an enterprise administrator or organization owner. This capability is available to organizations on the **{% data variables.copilot.copilot_business_short %}** and **{% data variables.copilot.copilot_enterprise_short %}** plans.
+
+To allow organization members without a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license to use {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %}, you must enable two policies:
+
+1. **Premium request paid usage**. This must be enabled first. It allows the enterprise or organization to incur charges for {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} premium request usage.
+1. **Allow members without a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license to use {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} in {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}**. This sub-policy enables {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} for users without a license.
+
+   * This policy is **disabled by default**.
+   * Once this policy is set at the enterprise level, it becomes **visible (but not editable)** at the organization level.
+   * The policy is **most restrictive**, meaning {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} is only available in repositories where the policy is explicitly enabled.
+
+When both policies are enabled, users without a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license can request a {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} review on their pull requests in the organization’s repositories.
+
+In addition, in repositories where automatic code review is enabled, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} automatically reviews all pull requests, regardless of whether the author has a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license.
+
+{% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} for users without a license is **not available in IDEs** or in organizations that do not have these policies enabled.

 ## Excluded files
 
 Dependency management files (such as package.json and Gemfile.lock) and certain other types of files (such as log files and SVGs) are excluded from {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %}. If you include any of these files in a pull request, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} will not consider the file when carrying out the review. Similarly, using {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} on one of these files in your IDE, will not generate review comments.

 ## Code review monthly quota
 
-Each time {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} reviews a pull request, or reviews code in your IDE, your monthly quota of Copilot premium requests is reduced by one.
+Each time {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} reviews a pull request, or reviews code in your IDE, your monthly quota of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} premium requests is reduced by one.
 
 If a repository is configured to automatically request a code review from {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} for all new pull requests, the premium request usage is applied to the quota of the pull request author. If a pull request is created by {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} or by a bot, the usage will apply to the user who triggered the workflow (if identifiable), or to a designated billing owner.
 
 When you reach your monthly quota you will not be able to get a code review from {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} until your quota resets—unless you upgrade your {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} plan or enable additional premium requests.
 
+### Quota for users without a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license
+
+Users without a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license do not have a monthly premium request quota. When {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} is enabled for these users through the “Allow members without a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license to use {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} in {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}” policy, any premium requests they generate—either by manually requesting a review or through automatic code review—are billed directly to the organization or enterprise as paid overage usage.
+
+Premium requests generated by users without a license are not attributed to any {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} plan quota and appear as overage usage in billing reports and premium request analytics. Users with a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license continue to consume premium requests from their assigned plan quota.
