# Onboard the Archive Managed Package in Sandbox Environments

Onboard and manage the Archive managed package within sandbox environments, including the procedures for trial mode, and re-onboarding after a sandbox refreshes.

## Trial Mode Onboarding

When you install the Archive Package in trial mode:

- A banner appears, indicating that the package is in trial mode.
- The Archive package is fully functional.
- The trial mode banner remains visible for 300 days.

Note Reach out to your Account Executive before your trial period ends.

## Re-Onboard for Refreshed Sandboxes

Salesforce sandboxes are typically refreshed every 180 days (six months). This refresh process generates a new and unique Org ID for the sandbox, meaning that re-onboarding of the Archive Package is required.

## Re-Authenticate Refreshed Sandboxes

After a sandbox refresh, you must re-authenticate your user account. This step is crucial because the new sandbox has a unique Org ID, which requires the creation of a new Archive service.

Note These procedures are specific to Salesforce Sandbox environments and don't apply to production environments.

By following these steps, the Archive Package remains fully functional and up-to-date in your Salesforce sandbox environment.

## Important Consideration for Production Sandboxes

If your sandbox environment was created from a production org where the Archive Package is installed, you must reinstall the Archive Package within the sandbox. Don't attempt to re-onboard directly from the production installation.
