Moving from a trial to a paid account

Practical steps, clear explanations and a useful place to start.

Before purchasing after a trial, ask whether the paid term will extend the tested account or create a new account. Keep the trial reference and chosen term in the conversation so the intended transition is clear. If new credentials are issued, save them securely and retire the old entry. Do not assume the player automatically knows which account is now the paid one.

Why it matters

A paid purchase may extend a trial account or issue different credentials, depending on the provider's workflow. Confirming that arrangement prevents the player remaining on expired trial access while the paid login sits unused in another message or an unlabelled saved source.

Work through the steps

  1. Reply in the existing private trial conversation with your chosen term and request confirmation of the account that will receive the paid access.
  2. Keep the payment reference and issued account confirmation together, noting whether credentials remain the same or a new account has been provided.
  3. Reopen the correct saved account in the player and verify its updated access information before deleting the old trial entry from your device.

What to avoid

Deleting the trial before receiving paid-account instructions can remove a useful reference. Keeping both without clear labels can cause the expired one to be selected later, producing an avoidable apparent failure after payment or renewal.

The useful takeaway

Confirm whether payment extends the trial or creates another account. Label the active source clearly and retain the order confirmation before removing obsolete details from the player or private records.
