Managing trial settings

The trial is activated by uploading a trial certificate. You can request a trial certificate by clicking the Request a trial on the IBM Marketplace link on the Trial page and following the instructions on the website. At the end of the trial request process, you will be able to download the trial license. You can then upload this trial license to your appliance to start using the appliance on a trial basis.

All offerings will be activated on a trial basis. After the trial expires, the offerings will be deactivated.

The trial can be reverted by uploading a special revocation trial certificate. When the revocation trial certificate is uploaded, the trial offerings will be deactivated. If you want any of the offerings to remain active, you must upload the activation key before reverting the trial.

When a trial period is activated, the remaining time for the trial is displayed in the title area of the LMI.

After the trial period expires, the runtime services of the appliance (for example, WebSEAL) will be disabled. If the administrator attempts to access the LMI after the appliance is disabled, the administrator will be automatically redirected to this Trial page.
