Trial Subscriptions

The Marketplace Platform allows you to explore a Microsoft product before committing to a paid version. This means you can order a free trial subscription and try it out for 30 days.

The following restrictions apply to NCE trial subscriptions in the Marketplace:

• Trial subscriptions don't automatically renew. When the trial ends, the subscription expires.

• Trial subscriptions can't be converted to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period. If you decide to order the paid version, you must place a new order for the corresponding paid product.

• Trial subscriptions usually come with 25 fixed licenses. This quantity cannot be increased or decreased.

• No modifications or terminations are allowed during the trial period.

Identifying trial subscriptions

Trial items contain the keyword "trial" in their names so you can locate them easily. For example, Dynamics 365 Finance Premium - Trial.
