Chapter 2 Before You Start

You will need a credit card or bank account to activate your free trial and get started. Don’t worry! You won’t be billed until you explicitly turn on automatic billing, but payment information is needed for verification purposes.
Before setting up billing yourself, you may want to check with your institutional procurement office and see if they have a preferred account set-up method with Google (such as a third party reseller or an existing account).
You can also work with your AnVIL collaborators or grant program officer to determine an appropriate Google Billing Account or Terra Billing Project for your class.
