How much time do you have after the 14 days of the free trial are over? Me and an admin are trying to install Discourse on a server but I don’t have 30 minutes (or $150) and he has to go for a few days. We are really panicked because we heard that the forum becomes read-only today.

May be a month at read-only before site is decommissioned, you need to contact support team directly to be sure.
Did you find out a definite answer for this?
With hosted site once that goes to read-only can be only two weeks before site is closed, but that only happens if you’re already a whole month late on a payment.
With trial may be different, they can extend those if that is your first trial, but they may be closed sooner than an official site.
I think your technicality thing may be true, but that’s a good thing because me and that admin are still trying to figure out the whole uploading-Discourse situation.
What are your other questions?
You could start new topics for those since this one has been solved will be automatically closed in a month.
I don’t have any, other than a note I probably won’t include because it’s context-specific and not related to this topic.
