You see the message "Support CoCalc by upgrading this project. It is on a trial server without network access. "

CoCalc costs us significant money to run and you are using this project for free. We need your support to continue being able to provide this service! (more information)

To remove this warning message, at least one collaborator on the project must upgrade it to run on members only hosting and have internet access.

1. If you have already purchased upgrades

Apply your upgrades to the project by going to the project settings page and clicking "Adjust your quotas...", then click the two checkboxes to apply your upgrades.

2. If you have not purchased upgrades yet

Go to Account --> Subscriptions and enter your credit card, then purchase a subscription. A good start is the standard subscription, which is $7/month.

If you're a student in a course, ask your instructor to enable the "Students pay" option in course settings; this makes available a special one-time $9 fee for a four month subscription.

3. If you have a collaborator who can purchase upgrades

Add one of your collaborators or friends to the project (in project settings) and ask them to upgrade the project using their upgrades. Only one collaborator on a project needs to upgrade it for all users of the project to fully benefit.

4. You and none of your collaborators can afford to upgrade your project

You may continue using it for free, despite the warning message. However, please keep in mind that (1) you can't pull in external data from the internet to the project, (2) the project will get randomly restarted and runs on a heavily loaded server, and (3) CoCalc itself needs your support.
