Trials for individual Citrix Cloud services are delivered through the Citrix Cloud management console. The functionality in a service trial is the same as the purchased service, so they’re suitable for a proof-of-concept (POC) or pilot deployment.
When you’re ready to buy Citrix Cloud services, your trial is converted to a production service. There’s no need to reconfigure anything or create a separate production account.
Citrix Cloud trial access is managed on a per-service basis. For some services, you can request a trial as described in Request a service trial in this article. For other services, you must request a demo before you receive trial access, as described in Request a service demo in this article.
For most services, you have 60 days to try out the service after your trial request is approved. You can request a trial for a service only once.
Most service trials include a grace period, so you can continue to access the service after the trial expires. This grace period allows you to buy a service subscription without interrupting the experience of your users. If you choose not to buy a subscription, the grace period allows you to remove any data that you added to the service. After the grace period ends, Citrix blocks access to the service.
Citrix keeps any data that you added to the service for 90 days after trial expiration. After 90 days have elapsed, Citrix deletes this data.
When your trial is approved and ready to use, Citrix sends you an email notification.
For some services, you must request a demo from a Citrix sales representative before you can try out the service. Requesting a demo allows you to discuss your organization’s cloud service needs with a Citrix sales representative. Also, the sales representative ensures you have all the information needed to use the service successfully.
