Upgrading your Plan

🚀 Upgrading to a Basic Plan with AuthGuard

This guide outlines the steps and requirements for applying for or upgrading to the Basic Plan with AuthGuard. The Basic Plan offers enhanced features compared to the Guest Plan, including more obfuscations and access to developer resources.

📝 Prerequisites & Initial Setup

Before you can apply for the Basic Plan, you must:

1. Register on Pelinda/AuthGuard: If you haven't already, you need to create an account with the AuthGuard system. Follow the instructions detailed here: 🔗 Registering on Pelinda/AuthGuard

2. Identify Your Service Identifier: You will need your unique Service Identifier for the application form. This is not the same as your script's display name and should not contain spaces. You can find details on what your Service Identifier is and where to find it here: 🔗 Understanding Hub Details (including your Identifier)

📋 How to Apply for the Basic Plan

Once you've completed the prerequisites:

1. Navigate to the Discord Channel: Join the official Pelican Development/AuthGuard Discord server and go to the designated application channel: #applications (or the channel with ID 1282331573873541121).

2. Initiate the Application: In the channel, you will likely find a button or command to "Apply for Basic Plan" or "Upgrade Plan." Click this to open the application form.

3. Fill Out the Basic Plan Application Form: You will be presented with a form similar to the one below. Please fill it out accurately and completely.

   (Replace with actual image link if you have one, or describe the fields as below)

   The form will ask for the following information (fields marked with * are typically required):

   • Your Service Identifier *

     • Example: Yes/No. Feel free to tell us why or why not :)

     • Indicate if you plan to upgrade further in the future and optionally provide reasons.

   • Are You The Discord Server Owner? *

     • Example: Yes/No

     • Confirm if you are the owner of the Discord server linked.

   • Meet Basic Plan Reqs? *

     • Example: e.g., 900 members (160 active)

     • State how you meet the requirements (e.g., member count or if you intend to pay).

4. Submit the Form: Once all required fields are filled, click the "Submit" button.
