# Create your Sibe account

You can create your Sibe account and land in a working workspace in one sitting. No credit card, no server to set up.

## Create the account

1. Go to [sibe.io](https://www.sibe.io) and click **Try for free**.
2. Enter your **work email** and click **Continue**.
3. Enter your **full name** and set a password.
4. Accept the Privacy Policy and Terms, then click **Sign up**. If the button reads **Sign In** instead, that email already has an account.
5. Wait while your workspace is prepared.
6. Answer the setup survey: goals, team size, CAD software, current file setup.
7. Click **Start** to open your workspace.

## What happens next

You land in your workspace with the **Setup Guide** open and four steps waiting:

* Install the add-in
* Import via the add-in
* View files in the dashboard
* Check out a file

The next two articles cover all four. Your CAD lives under the **Vault** icon in the left navigation.

## Common questions

**Do I need a credit card?**
No. The trial runs 14 days with no credit card.

**Do I need to install anything to sign up?**
No. You create the account in a browser. The native add-in for SOLIDWORKS® 3D CAD comes next, in [Install the Sibe add-in for SolidWorks](https://help.sibe.io/en-us/article/sibe-add-in-installation-instructions-2y7xov/).

**What does the setup survey do?**
Your answers about goals, team size, CAD software and current file setup shape how your workspace is set up, so you do not start from a blank slate.

**Can I invite my team right away?**
Yes. Seats, roles and folder access are covered in [Seats, roles and folder permissions](https://help.sibe.io/en-us/article/permissions-xjwnkj/).

**How long does the whole thing take?**
Sign-up is three short screens. A full Sibe workspace is live in under 20 minutes.

**Next:** Install the Sibe add-in for SolidWorks
