Alibaba Cloud Global Accelerator (GA) offers time-limited one-month free trials.
Applicants
Make sure that the following requirements are met before you apply for a free trial:
An Alibaba Cloud account is created and enterprise real-name verification is completed for the account.
You are a first-time user of GA.
Your account does not have an overdue payment.
First-time users are users who purchase GA for the first time. The accounts of these users do not have purchase records or usage records of GA. If a user has multiple Alibaba Cloud enterprise accounts and one of the accounts has a purchase record of GA, the user is not considered a first-time user.
Each user is limited to one free trial. If a user has multiple Alibaba Cloud enterprise accounts, the user can use only one account to apply for a free trial. Alibaba Cloud determines whether different Alibaba Cloud accounts belong to the same user based on the information that is related to the registration, logon, and usage of the accounts. The information includes the identity number, phone number, payment account, device, and address.
Duration
Free trials are available from 00:00:00 (UTC+8) on April 1, 2021 to 00:00:00 (UTC+8) on April 1, 2025. Each user can apply for a free trial of at most one month each time.
