# Storage management

> Manage Gcore Storage product activation, trial settings, and transition to deleted status for customer accounts.

The Storage product management page in the Admin Portal controls a customer's product activation, trial period settings, and status.

Opening this page starts from the customer's account settings:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Accounts section">
    Find the customer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the customer's settings">
    Click the customer's ID, or click **Edit** in the Actions column.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Products tab" />
</Steps>

<Note>
  Clearing the **Activate product** checkbox may suspend active resources.
</Note>

Clearing the checkbox instead shows the customer an activation request form.

## Trial settings

The **Trial settings** panel controls the trial period:

* The **Days limit** field sets how many days the trial lasts.
* The **Trial storage volume** field sets the storage limit during the trial, in GB.

The **Start day** and **End day** fields show the computed trial period and aren't editable directly.

On the **Dashboard** page, customers see how many Storage trial days remain.

## Transition to deleted status

The **Paused to Deleted** and **TrialEnd to Deleted** fields set how many days pass before the Storage product status switches to Deleted from each state; reaching Deleted status removes all of the customer's resources and files in Storage. The **Deleted status date** field shows when this happened and isn't editable directly.
