[SOLVED] Advice on "Exclusive" plans or not?

I have two plans configured on my site.
A Free Lifetime Plan where all members registering will be added.
The second plan is a Paid 1 year Plan which is an upgrade to the Free Plan.

If a user buys the Paid Plan for a year, the intention is that the user should return to the Free Plan on expiry of the Paid Plan. (unless it is renewed)

The Free Plan is the only available at Registration, to make sure everybody get the Free Plan "as a basis". The Paid Plan is only available as an upgrade after registration.
Is there a way to make the Paid Plan available at registration, while ensuring the user will return to the Free Plan on expiration of the Paid Plan?

Both plans are currently set as Exclusive. But I am not sure why... With the above mentioned intentions (everybody in Free Plan, and Pain Plan expiry returning to Free Plan). Are the Exclusive setting correct?

Attached are images of the setup.

Thank you for any help!

Yes, make the free plan exclusive and the paid plan non-exclusive. They can then have both at the same time. Always having the free as it's exclusive (mandatory).

Thank you, that seem to work. I also set the Free Plan to be selected by default, and access to Public.

Another question, maybe related:
I can't get the CBSubs Module (CB Subscriptions) to show at all.
It's enabled, Public and given a valid position, but it just doesn't show up.
Any advice on where I should start looking?

This is a known issue. Please see the below for quickfix.

There's also a second known issue with a quickfix as follows.

Thank you,
The first fix did it.

All well now

Is there a way to make the Paid Plan available at registration, while ensuring the user will return to the Free Plan on expiration of the Paid Plan?

I think it is mandatory that the paid subscription to be child of the free one.
Otherwise, the user can select only the paid plan (deselecting the free plan) and, after expiration, he will have no subscription. You must have the free plan mandatory and this is the only solution I know - making it parent. Is there another solution?
