01

Create and verify the account

Account creation and download do not start the trial. LobeWork confirms trial eligibility only when the account is eligible.

02

Confirm Start 14-day trial in Desktop

After signing in, review the trial and explicitly confirm the start action. The server creates full trial access and authorizes the first trial device.

03

Use full LobeWork trial access

Only a server-validated trial_active access can enter the normal workspace. The renderer does not infer eligibility from local files.

04

Reconnect during the one-day grace

A signed main-process access supports limited offline use, but the trial must reconnect before its one-day grace ends.

05

Convert to stronger access

A subscription, code, lifetime license, organization seat, or administrative grant replaces the trial without deleting local projects.
