    Important

    To cancel your free trial any time and stop future charges, turn off recurring billing. If you don't turn off recurring billing, after your one-month free trial ends, the system charges you with the applicable subscription fee. If your trial subscription doesn't have a payment method associated with it, you can let it expire at the end of the trial period so that the system doesn't charge you. If you need more time, you can extend the trial for a certain period that's mentioned on your product page. If you no longer need the trial, you can cancel the subscription.

    During the process of adding a payment method, the system makes a reversible charge of USD 1.00 to verify your credit card.

    The system also asks you for MFA configuration. You can configure MFA within 14 days of creating the tenant. If you don't configure it, you can't access the tenant after 14 days.

  12. On the Review and confirm page, select Start trial.
