A portal is always created as a trial. A trial portal, which expires after 30 days, is useful for trying out its capabilities at no cost. After it expires, the portal is suspended and shut down. Seven days after it's suspended, the trial portal is deleted. You'll be notified at every stage of the portal lifecycle—nearing suspension, suspended, deleted, and converted from trial to production—through toast notifications and email.

As an administrator, you can convert a trial or suspended portal to a production portal.<!--note from editor: I disagree with using "production" alone as a noun, even though it's used this way in the UI. It should always be a modifier. Instead of "convert a trial portal to production," it should be "convert a portal from trial to production" or "convert a trial portal to a production portal." --> When converting a portal from trial to production, you must ensure that the environment is also a production environment. You can't convert a trial portal to a production portal in a trial environment. If you delete the environment in which a trial portal is created, the portal is also deleted.

A production add-on portal expires at the end of the purchased license period. The suspension period for a production add-on portal can vary depending on the license plan you purchased. The portal is deleted after the suspension period ends. You can extend the license of a production add-on portal while the portal is in a configured or suspended state.
