You can give new users a free trial of the paid areas of your forum. During the trial a user has full access to every area that normally requires paid access, and no payment is taken.

1. Log in to your Website Toolbox account.
2. Click the Settings link.
3. Click the Paid Access link.
4. In the Trial Period field, enter the number of days the free trial should last. Enter 0 if you do not want to offer a free trial.
5. Save your changes.

The trial begins when a user signs up for an account on your forum. If an account is created by an administrator or through single sign on, the trial begins the first time that user visits the forum.

When the trial ends, the user no longer has access to the areas that require paid access. The user can subscribe to one of your pricing plans to continue, and the trial status is shown on the Billing page of the user's account.
