**Description**  
_Note: This doesn’t feel like the right forum to ask this question but in absence of other pathways, I am starting here. Hoping for some guidance on how to proceed._`¯\_(ツ)_/¯`

We are working to add some functionality to our Zoom App using features that requires a Business level account (eg. **audio transcripts** and later **live transcription** ).

I have discovered that business account is required for these features. Further, it seems that in order to upgrade to a Business account, there is a minimum of 10 licenses required.

How can I generate a business account to develop against this features without creating 10 licenses?

**Error? / Problem**  
Unable to create a business account with less than 10 licenses.

**API Endpoint/s?**

```auto
eg.
https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/recordingGet
https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/recordingsList

```

**How To Reproduce**  
Attempt to upgrade current account (basic or pro) to business account to leverage specific functionality.

**Additional context**  
Would like to develop functionality that leverages audio transcripts (both live and as a meeting file).

If this is better as a general question in that forum, I am happy to cross post there instead.  
I am just looking for some guidance on the best way to proceed.
