Product Evaluation ie Trial
How to evaluate a product under Subscription Entitlement Service
Overview
The Subscription Entitlement Service supports the generation of evaluation entitlements so that users can try a product without accruing billable usage. This article explains how an end user accesses an evaluation entitlement assigned to him or her and confirms the product is utilizing it.
Evaluation Email
When a sales representative or an administrator assigns an evaluation entitlement to a user, the end user will receive an email titled “New Evaluation Entitlement.” It provides the following information:
- The sales representative or administrator who granted the evaluation
- The product and version for which the evaluation is valid
- The start and end dates for the evaluation period
- A download link for an installer of the covered product
