Which edition will the new CRM account be subscribed to?

Zoho CRM allows users to access multiple organizational (CRM) accounts using the same email address. This is especially useful for organizations that maintain different CRM accounts to manage their business, such as a franchisee or a subsidiary.

The new organization account that is created will always be set to the Enterprise trial edition by default. The administrator must upgrade to the required subscription before the trial ends. A user can be part of organizations that are in different editions.
