# Create A Customer Subscription

Customer subscriptions are created in an initial *trial* state. Trials are free, but have limitations;

* A maximum of 5 licences of each licence type
* Valid for 7 days after which they will expire
* The aggregated amount of data all users on the trial can upload or download through the mapped drives in any given 24 hour period is limited to 5,000 file uploads or 3GB of data and 10,000 file downloads or 5GB of data

If your customer exceeds the trial data limits in a 24 hour period, their <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> network drives will be temporarily disabled until the 24 hour period has passed.

Trial limits are removed by [purchasing a subscription](/resources/pricing.md) and nominating the trial subscription be upgraded to a paid subscription.

{% hint style="info" %}
The duration of the trial and the number of licences can be increased [on request](/resources/contact-support.md) if you need to extend the testing of <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> for your customer.
{% endhint %}
