Question

Stuck in trial even after paying

I had an account that I have not been able to create DocuSigns from. I can still sign inbound docs but not create anything. I get an error “Unable to create the envelope. You cannot send once your trial has expired.” Even though I have a paid DocuSign account. When i contact support, they tell me to sign up with a new email. 

 

How do I escalate this to a Support Engineer? 

 

My understanding is that the root cause is usually a conflict between two accounts tied to the same email — the original trial account and the new paid one. It's a backend data issue that DocuSign support can fix, but front-line agents often don't know how or just punt on it. 

 

How can I get this escalated?

Hello Scott,
Thanks for sharing your details,
I’ve checked the details, and it looks like the email you provided is only linked to a trial account. There are no paid subscriptions or additional accounts under this email. Is it possible that your paid account was created using a different email address?
