Activate the paid version

Businesses can activate the paid version within sixty days after the trial period expires. Otherwise, all resources will be deleted. If you have not used up your initial grant during the trial period, you can use its balance to pay for your resources in the future.

Note

The paid version can be activated by users with the billing.accounts.owner role.

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 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 businesses and individual entrepreneurs.
