# Getting started with the Structural free trial

If you are a user who wants to set up an account in an existing Tonic Structural Cloud or self-hosted organization, go to [Creating a new account in an existing organization](/app/admin/tonic-user-access/user-access-new-account.md).

## About the Structural free trial <a href="#free-trial-about" id="free-trial-about"></a>

The Structural 14-day free trial allows you to explore and experiment in Structural Cloud before you decide whether to purchase Structural.

Structural tracks and displays the amount of time remaining in your free trial. You can request a demonstration and contact support.

When the free trial period ends, you can continue to use Structural to configure workspaces. You can no longer generate data. Contact Tonic.ai to discuss purchasing a Structural license.

## Signing up for the free trial <a href="#getting-started-new-user-free-trial" id="getting-started-new-user-free-trial"></a>

To start a new free trial of Structural:

1. Go to [app.tonic.ai](https://app.tonic.ai/).
2. Click **Create Account**.

On the **Create your account** dialog, to create an account, either:

* To use a corporate Google email address to create the account, click **Create account using Google**.
* To create a new Structural account:
  1. Enter your email address. You cannot use a public email address for a free trial account.
  2. Create and confirm a Structural password.
  3. Click **Create Account**.

Structural sends an activation link to your email address.

After you complete the activation, Structural displays the **New Workspace** view to allow you to create your first workspace. For more information about workspace settings, go to [Workspace configuration settings](/app/workspace/workspace-configuration-settings.md).

After you create the workspace, Structural runs a sensitivity scan to identify sensitive values in the workspace source data.

The [Structural Agent](/app/structural-agent/agent-about.md) summarizes the results. Use the Agent to ask questions about Structural and to help you to apply [generators](/app/generation/generators.md) to transform the sensitive values. You can also explore other features such as [subsetting](/app/generation/subsetting/subsetting-about.md), which produces a smaller set of output data.

When the generator configuration is complete, [run a data generation](/app/workflows/data-generation-run-job.md) to create output data.

## Next steps for free trial users <a href="#free-trial-after-checklist" id="free-trial-after-checklist"></a>

During the trial, Structural prompts you to chat with our sales team or to schedule a demo.

If your free trial has expired, to get an extension, you can reach out to us using either the in-app chat or an email message.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tonic.ai/app/quick-start-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
