# Accounts, trials and licensing

While a lot of the features of DataClassroom are free - for example, you can use all the lesson plans and datasets in our [Resource Library](https://userguide.dataclassroom.com/v1/docs/using-the-resource-library) for free - some of our features require that you have a license, or start a free trial.

### Starting a "no worries" trial

When you first sign up for the app [here](https://dataclassroom.com/en/register), you will start a **30-day free trial** - which can be extended if you need more time.

With your trial in progress, you have all the paid features such as [Import data](https://userguide.dataclassroom.com/docs/importing-data), [Create a class](https://userguide.dataclassroom.com/docs/entering-classes-manually), [Graph Wizard](https://userguide.dataclassroom.com//v1/docs/using-the-graph-wzard), or [Graph Driven Test](https://userguide.dataclassroom.com//v1/docs/graph-driven-tests) which are available in the Teacher or College license. See your Account page for details.

### When your trial expires - don't worry!

When your trial expires, you will **still have access to the tool and all the work you have done.**

Without a license, you'll still see be able to click on paid features, but you'll get a warning similar to this:

We know it can take time to fully evaluate a new tool, so we are always **generous with our trial extensions.**

And **your data is safe.** We're not going to delete it unless you don't use the tool at all for a long time, and will always notify you well in advance.

### Your students

K12 students "inherit" a license from their teacher, College students have their own licenseAs a licensed K12 teacher, the students in your classes will all be able to use the same features as yourself.  
College students can [buy their own license as described here](https://userguide.dataclassroom.com/v1/docs/college-student-accounts) or their institution can purchase a license to cover all or some of its students.
