# Free Tier and Upgrading

Sandbox Studio's licensing is managed directly through the AWS Marketplace, ensuring a seamless and integrated experience with your existing AWS billing. Sandbox Studio software is licensed annually based on the number of AWS Accounts (sandboxes) you manage via the application.

#### Free Trial

- Sandbox Studio is available through a Free Trial to manage up to **3 AWS accounts** as sandboxes for up to **90 days**.
- This Free Trial is available through the AWS Marketplace.

<p class="callout info">The Free Tier provides full functionality. AWS infrastructure charges (for the services you run within those sandbox accounts) are billed directly to your own AWS account and remain your responsibility.</p>

After the 90 day Free Trial expires, or for additional accounts beyond the initial three, an annual per-account license fee applies, which will be billed directly through your AWS account.


#### Purchasing Additional Accounts

If you wish to manage more than 3 sandbox accounts, you need to purchase additional capacity through **AWS Marketplace.** Your existing installation remains in place, no reinstallation is required.

##### Steps to Purchase

1. Go to the [**AWS Marketplace listing for Sandbox Studio**](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-dntkbocnpzadm).
2. Select **Purchasing Options**.
3. Enter the number of **additional sandbox accounts** you want to manage.
    
    
    - For example: To manage 20 sandbox accounts, purchase 17 additional licences (as 3 are already included in the free tier).
4. Complete the procurement process through AWS Marketplace.
5. Once payment is confirmed, AWS Marketplace will provide a link to set up your account and generate a unique **API key**.


##### Applying Your API Key

1. Log in to the **Sandbox Studio UI**.
2. Go to **Settings → Subscription**.
3. Select **Update**.
4. Paste your API key into the field provided.
5. Click Apply. Your subscription will be validated automatically. Your Sandbox Studio instance will then reflect the new licence limits and duration.

You can begin managing additional AWS sandbox accounts immediately.

##### Upgrading your licence

  
 • At any time, you can increase the number of sandbox accounts purchased in AWS Marketplace.   
 • Reducing the number of accounts managed by the solution will only apply at the end of the yearly licence.  
 • Your API key will automatically stay in sync with AWS Marketplace, so Sandbox Studio always reflects your current licence level.

#####   
Licence Term and Renewal

  
 • All paid Sandbox Studio licences are annual and billed through AWS Marketplace.  
 • The 12 month licence term begins on the date of purchase.  
 • You will receive notification from AWS Marketplace before renewal.  
 • Licences renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date.  
 • Reductions or cancellations take effect at the end of the current term.

##### Key Notes

 • No reinstallation is required when upgrading or renewing.
