Launch a Workspace with a Persistent Pay ModelΒΆ

***Important note: regardless of your account type, remember to terminate your workspace session when you are done using it to avoid accruing additional compute charges (i.e., "usage"). You can read more about terminating your workspace on our Getting Started in Workspace page. ***

You can select which workspace account pay model to use from the Workspace page.

  • Log in and click on Workspace to open the workspace page.

    Click on the workspace page, then login.

  • Click on Account Information to expand that tab (note that it is usually already expanded).

    The Account information bar may already be expanded. If it is not, you can click on the Account Information to expand it to see the dropdown to select a workspace account.

  • Under "Account" and "Apply for an account", you can click the dropdown to select which workspace account you want to use to launch the VM.

    Click the dropdown and select the workspace account you want to use to launch the workspace.

    The dropdown will only show workspace accounts that are active.

    When you only have trial access, launching a new VM will always use your Trial Access workspace account.

    However, once you have a workspace account funded through a persistent pay model, you will lose the trial access option, and you will only be able to launch a new VM using funded workspace account.

    Reminder: Each workspace account will have its own /pd for storing data beyond each workspace session. You can download data from one and upload it to another. But note: once you have a funded workspace account, you will no longer have access to the /pd for your trial access workspace account. Download your data from your trial access account /pd before you receive funding in another workspace account.
