Managing companies
In the Pexip Partner Portal, your customers are known as "Companies".
You should create a company for each of your customers, and also one in your own company's name for any subscriptions that you want to use internally.
The company overview lists all your company accounts and is divided into three tabs:
- Paid: companies with at least one paid Pexip License Plan.
- Trial (Open): companies with no paid Pexip License Plan, and you can still add trial subscriptions.
- Trial (Closed): companies with no paid Pexip License Plan, and it is no longer possible to add trial subscriptions.
The following information is listed:
| Company | Your customers listed by name. |
| Country | The country you specified for that customer. |
| State/Province/Region | The State/Province/Region you specified for that customer. |
| Reference | Any customer ordering/billing reference that you entered. For example an internal purchase order reference. See Assigning company references and cost centers for more information. |
| Next annual renewal / Evaluation end |
If you have any annual license plans for a paid customer, the next upcoming renewal date is shown here. For trial customers, their evaluation end date is shown. |
| Actions | Your options to edit  the company attributes (e.g. contacts) and a direct link  to this company in the Pexip Analytics tool. |
