# How long does the Storage Studio free trial last?

The free trial lasts **15 days** from the moment it starts on first launch. The length is set by us, and the welcome screen and **Settings → License** always show the current figure, so go by what your app says.

The days remaining count down by calendar day, so the number on your trial badge ticks over at local midnight rather than exactly 24 hours after you started. You can see how many days are left on the licence card at the bottom of the menu bar popover and in **Settings → License**.

If you need more time, you may be able to [extend the trial by verifying an email](https://storagestudio.us/faq/licensing-payments/how-do-i-extend-my-free-trial).
