Yodeck Unlimited Access Period

Overview

What the Unlimited Access Period is

When you create a new Yodeck account, you automatically start with 30 calendar days of unlimited access to the platform’s features and apps, as well as five (5) screens.

This 30-day Unlimited Access Period is designed for everyone, from small businesses setting up their first screen to larger teams evaluating Yodeck across multiple locations. It lets you explore Yodeck the way it’s meant to be used in the real world, without having to choose a plan first.

During the Unlimited Access Period, you can:

• Use all Yodeck features and apps.
• Connect up to five (5) screens.
• Test Yodeck on any supported hardware (Yodeck Players or your own compatible devices)

At the end of the 30 calendar days, you decide what’s next:

• Upgrade to one of our paid plans and keep all features, apps, and the five (5) screens (or less or more),
  or
• Downgrade by continuing on the Free Plan with one (1) free screen, basic features, and apps.

⚠️Visuals and wording in the app may evolve over time, but the Unlimited Access Period rules and limits remain the same.

What happens after the Unlimited Access Period ends

After the Unlimited Access Period ends, what happens next depends on whether you choose to upgrade to a paid plan or continue on the Free Plan with basic features.

If you Upgrade:

• Your account continues uninterrupted as it is upgraded to the selected paid plan.
• The screens you tested during the Unlimited Access Period may remain active based on the number of screens you choose when upgrading to your selected plan.
  • For example, if you choose six screens for the selected paid plan, all Unlimited Access Period screens will remain available to you. However, if you select four screens, one Free Period screen (having the highest screen ID number) will be disabled.
• All apps from the Unlimited Access Period that are also included in your plan stay enabled. Otherwise, some might get disabled, depending on the selected plan.
• All features from the Unlimited Access Period that are also included in your plan stay enabled. Otherwise, some might get disabled, depending on the selected plan.
• All content you created during the Unlimited Access Period is preserved.

💡Upgrading can turn your Unlimited Access Period setup into your production setup, with no resets or reconfiguration required, depending on your plan and screen selection.

If you do Not Upgrade:

• Your account is downgraded and continues on the Free Plan with basic features while remaining active.
• Only one (1) free screen remains active, while the four (4) remaining screens are disabled (they stop playing content). The first initialized screen (meaning the one with the smaller ID number) is the one screen that remains active, by default. However, you can disable the first (default) screen and enable one of the other screens. Only one screen may remain active at any given time.
  
• Only Free Plan apps are available. Premium/Enterprise apps are disabled.
• Only Free Plan features are available. Premium/Enterprise features are disabled.
• Content created during the 30-day Unlimited Access Period is retained as long as it is not part of or belongs to any Premium/Enterprise features and apps.

💡If you want to keep your content and your full setup intact, you’ll need to upgrade before or during the Unlimited Access Period’s end.
