# Plans: Beta, Trial and Ultimate

> What each plan includes, who can choose it, how it starts and ends, and how to switch between the Trial and the Ultimate Edition.

> **Draft brief for authors.** Replace with the final text; keep the structure. **Reconcile the plan facts between the product catalog and the application first** (see Part C of the authoring notes: trial length and changes, Beta changes).

**Page type:** Concept / Reference · **Audience:** Buyer, Administrator

**Contains**

- Table from the product catalog: lines of business, changes per year, term, support, single sign-on per plan; who can choose it; how it starts and ends.
- Switching plans: Trial and Ultimate in both directions; one trial per subaccount; an Ultimate order replaces a running trial; the Beta Edition switches to no other plan.
- Caution callout: what the Beta Edition allows in SAP.
