Trial expiry

At the end of the 15-day, free trial, you will encounter the following message:

 
You can proceed with one of the following options:
Upgrade to the paid plan: If you choose this option, you will be redirected to the Zoho Store page where you can purchase the paid edition.
Continue in free edition: You can choose to switch to the free edition.
Extend the trial: You can extend your trial period by a period of 15 days. When you choose this option, you will be required to provide certain details. The trial can be extended twice.

Try Editions

At any point, you can switch to the 15-day trial of other editions. To switch to another edition:
  1. Click the profile icon at the top-right corner and click Try Other Editions.



  2. Click Try Now for the desired edition.
    You will get to use the other edition for a trial period of 15 days. You can use the trial version of Zoho FSM for a maximum of 45 days (this includes any trial period before purchase). If you have used up your 45 days of trial period, then you will not be able to use this option.


You can switch back to your paid edition anytime by clicking on Switch Back To [Edition Name]. Trying another edition doesn't affect the existing duration of your subscription period.


 
You can also try the other editions when you are in the Free edition.


Appointment Credits 

When you purchase appointments, you will also get appointment credits amounting to 10% of the appointments purchased. These credits will be valid during that Billing Cycle. You can see the details of these credits by clicking the profile icon at the top-right corner. Click on the Info [ ] icon to see more details.
 

 
Important: Do bear in mind that the credits you use will affect the appointment count from the next billing cycle. The number of credits (appointments) that you use will be deducted from the appointment count of the next billing cycle.

Example
The user has a subscription for 300 appointments. The user uses 12 credits. In the next billing cycle, when the appointment count is replenished, instead of 300, they will only be getting 288 (300-12) appointments.
 
Click on the Info [] icon to see the details.
 

 
In case you upgrade before the renewal date, the number of credits used will be added to the count of appointments used. The credits used will be disregarded. Consider that the user has a subscription for 300 appointments. The user uses 12 credits.
 

 
The user purchases 100 more appointments. Then, the total appointment usage will be 312 and the credit used will be 0.
 

When can you use them? 

You will be able to use the credits when you have exhausted all of your purchased appointments for the Billing Cycle. Using credits, you can thus continue creating appointments without having to make a new purchase before the next renewal date. When you attempt to create a service appointment after your purchased appointments have been exhausted, then you will be shown a message as shown in the screenshot below.
  1. Continue: Choose this if you want to create the appointment using the credits.
  2. Upgrade: Choose this if you want to purchase more appointments.
 
Points to remember
  1. Unused credits don't get carried over to the next Billing Cycle.
  2. Except in the Free edition, appointment credits will be available in all the editions, including in the trial versions of Zoho FSM.
  3. When a time sheet is ended, the credits will automatically be used if the user has exhausted the available appointments.
