...what will happen to the shared users when I upgrade?
When you upgrade, the 'InActive' users, if any, within the subscribed user limit are changed to 'Active' automatically. For example, assume that you upgrade from the Basic 3 user pack -to- the Professional 10 user pack and you had 12 'Inactive' users. After the upgrade, the status of 7 'Inactive' users will be changed to 'Active' status, making a total of 10 Active users as per the plan.
If you want to share the application with users of your choice, first inactivate the users that you don't need and then activate the required users, within the subscribed user limit.
You can add 25 users. 1 being the admin (ie., you).
You can upgrade to the paid business edition anytime. Your data will be safe and retained fully on upgrade. Please visit Account Settings > Subscription for upgrading.
