            Sandbox Licenses and Storage Limits by Type

            A sandbox is a copy of your organization in a separate environment that you can use for a variety of purposes, such as testing and training. Sandboxes are completely isolated from your Salesforce production organization. The operations you perform in your sandboxes don’t affect your Salesforce production organization. You can create different sandbox environments for your org, depending on your needs for storage, copy configuration, and frequency of refresh.

            Required Editions

            Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
            Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Database.com Editions

            Each type has different features to support the activities it’s designed for.

            Sandboxes Available Per Edition
            Sandbox Type Professional Edition Enterprise Edition Unlimited Edition Performance Edition

            • If you need licenses for more sandboxes, contact Salesforce to order sandboxes for your organization.
            • You can order an unlimited number of QA databases.
            Note
            Note You can buy additional Developer Pro sandboxes for any edition, or Partial and Full sandboxes for Enterprise, Unlimited, and Performance editions.

            Developer sandboxes aren’t available for purchase but are bundled with add-on sandboxes of other types.

            • The Developer Pro Sandbox add-on is bundled with 5 Developer Sandboxes.
            • The Partial Copy Sandbox add-on is bundled with 10 Developer Sandboxes.
            • The Full Sandbox add-on is bundled with 15 Developer Sandboxes.
            Note
            Note You can match provisioned licenses in production to your sandbox org without having to refresh your sandbox. Sandbox license counts are updated to match the counts in production. The process also adds licenses that are in production but not in the sandbox, and deletes licenses that aren’t in production.

            Entities defined as metadata types aren’t counted as part of storage allocations in sandboxes. For more information about entities that are counted against storage allocations, see Salesforce Help: Data and File Storage Allocations.

            For more information on upgrading storage for Developer and Developer Pro sandboxes, see Sandbox Storage Upgrades for all the details.

            Note
            Note Sandboxes don’t send email notifications when storage limits are reached. However, if you reach the storage limit of your sandbox, you can’t save new data in it. To check your storage limits, from Setup, enter Storage Usage in the Quick Find box, then select Storage Usage.
