Upgrading to Premium
To upgrade to the paid version of all trial products, click the blue Upgrade button at the top right. To upgrade only one product to a paid version, hover over the notification and click Upgrade for the relevant product.
In the dialog that appears, click Upgrade.
Any data backed up during the trial will simply be retained on our Storage Platform and will not need to be backed up again.
What to do when a trial expires
Trials expire after 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 either upgrade to the Premium edition of the product or take a copy of their backed-up data from our Storage Platform. During these 7 days, no further backups will be made, but the backups from the trial will still be available to the customer. If the customer chooses not to upgrade, their data will be removed from the Storage Platform after the 7-day period has run out.
