Trial Users Faq's

You do not need an AWS account to run a trial clone. A self-manage licence however requires an AWS account as this is where the instance will be built. Seahorse offers an account creation service for users if required.

Trial instances are created in our Seahorse / AWS environment

No, the software does not currently allow migration or management of WordPress multisite. Multisite support is part of our development roadmap however and will be delivered later in 2021

Trial instances are active for 6 hours after launch

No, the trial instance is for front-end review only and access to the WordPress admin of the site is restricted

Trial instances are launched on the $10 Lightsail plan. More information on plan types can be found here: https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/pricing/. On production licenses the initial migration is also launched on the $10 plan but users are free from there to scale up/down as they wish

See our video guide for how to create and attach the required permissions to the IAM user
