## General questions

> [accordion] What do I get from the Business plan that I don't get from the free or Starter plans?
>
> Information about which features are available with each plan is available on our [pricing page](https://www.anaconda.com/pricing).

> [accordion] Can I still keep my personal Anaconda account?
>
> If you have an account under your personal email, and your company wants to add you to their organization under your work email, you can keep your personal Anaconda account. However, you should not use the account associated with your personal email for commercial activities.

> [accordion] Does my personal email address associated with my account follow me to my corporate membership?
>
> It can! Ultimately, whether your personal email is added to your company's organization or not depends on their SSO implementation. If your company has implemented SSO, you'll need to use your corporate email to sign in. For more information about SSO, see [Enterprise Single Sign-on (SSO)](https://anaconda.com/docs/anaconda-platform/admin/integrations/esso.md).

## Organization management

> [accordion] Why didn't my organization member receive an invitation when I sent them one?
>
> If you've sent an invitation to a user, but they have not received an email instructing them to join the organization, it is usually because they are already a member.
>
> Go to your `https://anaconda.com/app/organizations/<ORG_ID>/users` page and search for their email address to see if they are a member. If they are not listed and do not receive the invitation after you resend it, open a [support ticket](https://support.anaconda.com/hc/en-us/requests/new).

## Setting up and managing your Anaconda account

> [accordion] How do I verify my account?

If you don't find it in your spam folder, please [submit a ticket](https://anaconda.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360006825553).

> [accordion] What happens if I lose my access token?
>
> You can [re-issue yourself a new token by following instructions provided here](https://anaconda.com/docs/anaconda-platform/user/tokens.md#reissuing-a-token).
>
> > [!WARNING]
> >
> > Requesting a new token will revoke and deactivate your existing token's access. Remember to update your access token by running the `conda token set <TOKEN>` command.

> [accordion] Do I ever need to update my access token?
>
> If you are transitioning from an individual user license to a site license, you will need to update your access token (A randomly generated string that proves your identity and permission to access resources like channels, packages, or APIs.). A site token will provide you with an organization access token that anyone in your organization can use.

> [accordion] What if I need multiple access tokens, like for a team of users?
>
> If you need multiple tokens for your team, each team member must create an Anaconda account to obtain an access token.

> [accordion] What happens if someone else uses my token?
>
> If you suspect someone else is using your token, you should immediately re-issue yourself a token. This will deactivate your previous token and revoke its access. See **What happens if I lose my access token**, above.

> [accordion] How do I prevent unauthorized access?
>
> Keep your access token private and secure.

> [accordion] What do I do if my access token does not work?

> [accordion] When does my token expire?
>
> Your token's expiration date is based off your subscription's expiration date. However, renewing your subscription will not extend the life of your token. If you renew your subscription, you will need to [sync your token](https://anaconda.com/docs/anaconda-platform/user/tokens.md) to extend its life to your new subscription expiration date.
