# Sign up and the 14-day free trial

> Create an ARUKZ ERP workspace in a minute: what the sign-up form asks, what the 14-day trial includes, and what happens when it ends.

You sign up for ARUKZ ERP at [erp.arukz.com/saas/register](https://erp.arukz.com/saas/register) with your company name, a workspace name, your name, a work email and a password. No card is asked for and nobody calls you first. The workspace is ready as soon as you submit the form, and the 14-day free trial starts then.

## What the form asks

| Field | What to enter | Rules |
| - | - | - |
| Company | Your registered company name, as it should print on invoices | Must not already have a workspace |
| Workspace | A short name for your company's address, for example `apexprecision` | Letters, numbers and hyphens, 3 to 50 characters, not already taken |
| Full name | The person who will own the workspace | |
| Work email address | Your sign-in email | Not already used by another account |
| Password | At least 8 characters, entered twice | |
| Mobile phone, industry, company size | Optional | |
| Plan | The plan you expect to choose; Professional is selected if you pick none | You can change it before you pay |

You can open the form with a plan already chosen, for example `https://erp.arukz.com/saas/register?plan=starter`. The plan names are `starter`, `pro` and `enterprise` ([Plans and pricing](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/billing/plans.md)).

**1. Submit the form**

Your company, your admin account and the workspace are created together. If any of them cannot be created, none is, and the form tells you which field to change.

**2. You are signed in**

You land on the home screen of your workspace as its **Admin**. Bookmark your company's address: `erp.arukz.com/<workspace>/admin`. See [Your company's address](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/admin/company-address.md).

**3. Follow the setup checklist**

The home screen shows a short checklist: company details and GSTIN, first product, first customer, first quotation, your team. See [First steps](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/get-started/first-steps.md).

## What the trial includes

* **Every feature of the modules that are on.** A new workspace starts with the core modules: sales, purchases, inventory, invoices, accounting and GST returns. Ask ARUKZ support to switch on others, such as manufacturing, quality, job work or payroll, at no cost. See [Modules](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/admin/modules.md).
* **A ready workspace**: rupees, a chart of accounts and journals, GST rates (5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent as CGST plus SGST, and IGST), a main warehouse with its locations, your own document numbers starting at 1, and starter roles for sales, purchase, stores and production, quality, accounts and HR.
* **The seats of the plan you chose.** The Professional plan allows 25 users.

## When the trial ends

> [accordion] You choose a plan and pay
>
> Open **Settings → Subscription** to see the plan, the invoice and how to pay. Paying reopens the workspace with everything in it. See [Payment and renewal](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/billing/payment-and-renewal.md).

> [accordion] You do not pay yet
>
> The workspace becomes read-only. Your team can still sign in, look at every record, export data and pay, but cannot create or change anything. See [Read-only mode](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/admin/read-only-mode.md).

> [accordion] You want your data out
>
> The company admin can download all of the company's data as one file, during the trial or while read-only. See [Export all your data](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/admin/export-data.md).

> [!TIP]
>
> Sign up in a private browser window if you are already signed in to another ARUKZ ERP workspace: signing up signs you in as the new workspace's admin and replaces the session you had.
