Converting a trial account to a paid subscription
When you’re ready to convert your trial account to a paid subscription, there is a simple wizard to guide you through the process. Click Activate Subscription in the menu on the left to get started:

The steps in the process are:
Reviewing pricing
The first step in the process gives you an estimate of your monthly bill:
Figure 2 - Viewing pricing information
The estimate is based on your current usage. To get an estimate based on other workloads, click the 
button. You’ll see this dialog:

In this case the estimate is based on 192 vCPUs, 3.1 TB of storage, and Premium support. Click CLOSE to go back to the Paid Subscription wizard. Click NEXT to continue.
Choosing a support plan
Next, choose a support plan:

There are two options: Enterprise and Premium. A high-level support of the two plans is listed here. The Support page has complete details on the two options. When you’ve chosen a support plan, click NEXT to continue.
Entering billing information
As you would expect, we’ll need some details:

Confirming your choices
As a final step, you need to confirm your choices:
Figure 8 - Confirming your choices
You must agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to continue. You also must confirm you understand that your account will become billable as soon as you you check both boxes and click the 
button.
If all goes well, you’ll see a confirmation message:

When your account becomes billable, your quotas will be increased by 10X. Your trial most likely had limits of 16 vCPUs and 1 TB of storage, so those limits will be increased to 160 vCPUs and 10 TB of storage. Users with orgadmin in your account will receive an email with documentation links and support instructions.
