Launch and terminate environments

When the platform initially opens, you will see your environments and the status of those environments. Submit your requests to launch and terminate environments through the service request form, accessible from the Support & Community page.

About this task

You can have up to four environments active at one time (one per stage), but trial accounts are limited to two. If you exceed your limit, the system displays a message informing you that you have reached the maximum number of active environments allowed for your account. NOTE: Deployed environments are automatically deleted after two hours of inactivity.
