Activating the paid version

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at April 9, 2025

You need to activate the paid version within sixty days after the trial period expires. Otherwise, all of your resources are deleted automatically.

Note

The trial period is only available for legal entities.

If you have not spent the full amount of the initial grant during the trial period, you can use its balance to pay for the resources you will consume in the future.

To upgrade to the paid version:

Yandex Cloud Billing interface
  1. Go to Yandex Cloud Billing.

  2. Select a billing account.
  3. On the Account info page, click Switch to the paid version.
  4. Confirm the action by clicking Switch to the paid version again.

Upon activation of the paid version, your personal account balance will be zero by default. We recommend that you keep track and maintain a positive balance at all times.

If you fail to top up your account on time and run into arrears, your use of Yandex Cloud services may be suspended. For more information, see Billing cycle for organizations and individual entrepreneurs.
