# Set up a time-limited trial

> Configure a time-limited trial that expires after a set number of calendar days from download, regardless of how long the customer actually plays.

## Definition

A time-limited trial allows users to access a product for a limited amount of time. Time is measured in calendar days, not by time-played in the product. In other words, a seven-day trial lasts for seven calendar days, no matter how long the user plays the trial during that seven-day period.

<Note>
  The configuration for a time-limited trial will allow the user to use the full product for the duration configured. If they want to, developers can detect the trial license state and restrict access to certain features in-game.
