Redstor gives your customers the option to try out any backup service on the RedApp for free for 30 days. You can upgrade the customer to the paid edition at any time. First-time customers can try out any product or combination or products, while existing customers can try out any product or combination of products they are not subscribed to already.
Note:
- Product trials are only available to customers on the new pricing plan. If you are still on the legacy pricing plan, please speak to your account manager about upgrading.
- Trials for Microsoft 365 (Exchange and OneDrive), Google Workspace (Gmail, Google Drive, Contacts, Calendar, and Classroom), and Salesforce are limited to 25 seats per service. (For more information on seats, see Article 1437.) If you select more than 25 seats for backup as part of your trial, only 25 of the selected seats will be backed up, as randomly chosen by our system. For SharePoint and Teams, the limit is 25 sites.

What happens when my trial expires?
Trials expire after 30 days. Please note that it is not possible to extend a trial at any point before, during or after the 30 days.
If the trial for a product has expired and the customer has not chosen to upgrade yet, the product name will appear with an Expired label in the sidebar. A notification will also be shown at the top of the customer's dashboard.
Once the trial has expired, the customer has 7 days to upgrade to the Premium edition of the product. If the customer chooses not to upgrade, their data will be removed from the Storage Platform after the 7-day period has run out. Unless the customer upgrades, backups made during the trial will not be available for recovery once the trial expires.
Please note that once a trial has expired, its account details cannot be used in another trial. The only way to restart a trial using the same account details is to cancel the original trial and request deletion of that trial account before the trial expires. The trial can then be restarted using the original account details.
