Why can't I access a different IBM Cloud location?

You're unable to create a new location because your account type doesn't allow it.

You receive an error message when you try to create a new IBM Cloud location.

This error typically occurs because you're using a Lite account, which supports development in one public location only. For more information about Lite account features, see Lite account.

To access more locations, upgrade to a billable account. Go to Manage > Account in the IBM Cloud console, and select Account settings. In the Account upgrade section, select your upgrade option.

To view information about using a different region for a service within the account, refer to Using service endpoints for global or regional endpoints for a particular service.
