If you toggled the Trial Mode switch on when you created the team, the client will have 30 days to try out File Protection. If you do not take any action, the trial account will be disabled on the 31st day.

To convert the trial account to a regular account, do the following at any time during or after the trial period:

  1. Go to the Edit Team view.
  2. Click the Convert to Billed Team button.

NOTE  After you save, you will not be able to convert this team back into a trial team.

  1. Click Save.

IMPORTANT  The switch from metered to unlimited is unidirectional. Once a customer is on an unlimited plan, you cannot switch them back to a metered plan. The change is irreversible.

Before switching a team from a metered plan to an unlimited plan, please consider the following:

  • A team cannot be switched to an unlimited plan if File Protection Desktop is installed on a server operating system. The team must first obtain File Protection Server licenses for those devices and install File Protection Server.
  • If any instances of File Protection Desktop are backing up external or network drives, they must be removed before switching to an unlimited plan. File Protection Server is required to back up external or network drives.

Once you have reviewed the conditions above, proceed with the following:

  1. On the team list, right-click on a row and select Edit Team, or open the Team Detail view and click the Edit Team button.
  2. Change the value in the Plan field from Metered to Unlimited.
  3. Click Save. If the team cannot yet be converted to an unlimited plan, an error message will indicate what the problem is, which users/devices are at issue, and how to correct it.
    If the team passes all criteria for conversion to an unlimited plan, a confirmation popup will display.
  4. Enter your password and click Convert to complete the process.
  1. Toggle the Status switch to Enabled.
  2. Click Save.
