Your Dev Hub org is often your production org, and you can enable Dev Hub in these editions: Developer, Enterprise, Unlimited, or Performance. Your Dev Hub edition determines how many scratch orgs you can create. You choose one of the supported scratch org editions each time you create a scratch org.
Possible values for the Salesforce edition of the scratch org are:
Partners can create partner edition scratch orgs: Partner Developer, Partner Enterprise, Partner Group, and Partner Professional. This feature is available only if creating scratch orgs from a Dev Hub in a partner business org. See Supported Scratch Org Editions for Partners in the First-Generation Managed Packaging Developer Guide for details.
Note
Scratch orgs have these storage limits:
Entities defined as metadata types aren’t counted as part of storage allocations in scratch orgs. For more information about entities that are counted against storage allocations, see Salesforce Help: Data and File Storage Allocations.
To ensure optimal performance, your Dev Hub org edition determines your scratch org allocations. These allocations determine how many scratch orgs you can create daily, and how many can be active at a given point.
To try out scratch orgs, sign up for a Developer Edition org on Salesforce Developers, then enable Dev Hub.
If you’re a partner or ISV, your scratch org allocations are likely different. See the First-Generation Managed Packaging Developer Guide for details.
Note
The active scratch org allocation is the maximum number of scratch orgs you can have at any given time based on the edition type. The allocation becomes available if you delete a scratch org or if a scratch org expires. The daily scratch org allocation is the maximum number of successful scratch org creations you can initiate in a rolling (sliding) 24-hour window. Allocations are determined based on the number of scratch orgs created in the preceding 24 hours.
| Edition | Active Scratch Org Allocation | Daily Scratch Org Allocation |
|---|---|---|
| Developer Edition or trial | 3 | 6 |
| Enterprise Edition | 40 | 80 |
| Unlimited Edition | 100 | 200 |
| Performance Edition | 100 | 200 |
If your Salesforce admin provided access to the Dev Hub org using the Free Limited Access license and you can’t run this command, contact your admin for assistance.
