Free Trial License

Forward Enterprise offers a free Trial License to fully explore the platform before you buy an enterprise license.

Free trial allows you to use the entire platform, typically for 30 days and permits access to all functionality, across as many devices as you want.

A banner at the top of the platform shows that you are on a trial license and displays the number of days remaining.

Free trial banner and license agreement

note

Free trial license allows access to the entire platform except Predict. No license tiers are enforced while on the free trial. Free trial license is currently only available on Forward SaaS.

Accept the license agreement

When you first sign in, the evaluation agreement is displayed. Read the terms of the agreement carefully, and select Accept to continue. You must accept the agreement before you can begin using the platform.

When the trial ends

When the trial license expires, the platform switches to read-only mode. You can still view all your data, but you cannot make any changes or collect new snapshots.

To continue using the Forward platform, extend the trial license or convert to an enterprise license. To extend a trial license or purchase an enterprise license, contact your Forward Networks representative or Forward Support.

Getting started

New trial license accounts start with a guided onboarding experience that walks you through setup, from installing a collector to taking your first snapshot.
