Hello, today we have the free tools from HubSpot. I would like to subscribe to the starter marketing platform with a paid license. Will salespeople still be able to continue using free CRM? Or will they also need to have a license? ---

Hey, [@OphélieHerbaut](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/870799) 👋 You are correct. Adding a Marketing Hub Starter subscription won’t change the access your sales team has for the tools they currently have access to on the free plan. It’s an “in addition to” your free CRM upgrade. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Jaycee ---
