    Add an Activation ID to upgrade from a free trial account and access all Couchbase Capella features.
    If you don’t have a Couchbase Capella account, see Create a Free Account and Deploy Your Database for instructions on how to start a free trial.

    A free trial comes with a limited number of Couchbase Capella credits that you can spend on a database. After you spend the available credits, or they expire, Capella automatically suspends your trial database.

    You can’t read or write data to a suspended database.

    To upgrade from a free trial to a paid plan in Capella, you need to add an Activation ID to your organization.
