# Questions about the trial period and paid version

#### Is there a trial period for Yandex Cloud? {#trial}

Yes. For more information, see [Trial period](../../getting-started/free-trial/concepts/quickstart.md).

#### Who can use the trial period? {#who-can-use-trial}

All new Yandex Cloud customers who are legal entities.

#### Can I upgrade to the paid version if the trial period has not expired yet? {#activate-commercial}

Yes, you can. For more information, see [Activate the paid version](../operations/activate-commercial.md).

#### What will happen to my resources if I do not upgrade from the trial to the paid version? {#commercial}

All your resources will be blocked. For more information, see [Trial period](../../getting-started/free-trial/concepts/quickstart.md).

#### Is there a free non-commercial version? {#commercial-nonpaid}

No. However, you can use the trial period if you have a business account in Yandex Cloud.

For the trial period, your [billing account](../concepts/billing-account.md) is credited for the amount of the [initial grant](../concepts/bonus-account.md). You can use it to pay for resources of any Yandex Cloud services.

For more information about the terms of use and restrictions, see [Trial period](../../getting-started/free-trial/concepts/quickstart.md).

#### I upgraded to the paid version. Can I go back to the trial period? {#return-trial-period}

No.

If you don't spend the full amount of the [initial grant](../concepts/bonus-account.md) or one of its [parts](../../getting-started/usage-grant.md) before upgrading to the paid version, you can use the remaining amount depending on when the grant expires:

- The grant **expires before** you upgrade to the paid version.

  The remaining amount expires and you can't use it to pay for Yandex Cloud services after upgrading to the paid version.

- The grant **expires after** you upgrade to the paid version.

  You can use the remaining amount to pay for services, but only until the grant expires: as soon as that happens, the remaining amount expires, too.
