Creating an account alone without selecting a license will incur no costs?
If you only create an account without selecting a license, there will be no cost incurred?
In brief:
- Generally, you will not incur any cost if you use the "free personal edition" of Genymotion Desktop. However, the free version has some function limitations, but it can be used for learning purposes.
- If you choose a paid license (for example, the paid desktop version for educational purposes or a personal paid plan) or use cloud/commercial features, you will incur costs.
- The specific application of whether a license is required for learning purposes depends on conditions such as the "free personal edition" or "educational special price".

Next action options:
- If your current case is "learning/personal use" and you are using the free desktop version, there will be no cost incurred. However, you will not be able to use the latest Android version or some features.
- If you use cloud environments (AWS/GCP, etc.) or select paid features, you will incur costs.
In addition, please refer to the official blog article for details on the free version and educational offers of Genymotion Desktop. If necessary, we will introduce the most suitable plan according to your usage case (purpose, number of devices, and cloud usage).
Next, I would like to ask:
- Will your future use be limited to "local desktop development and learning only," or will you also consider cloud versions or test automation usage?
