Hi everyone! I’ll try to explain the Enterprise Trial process here, I hope i’ll cover most of your questions.
First, you can request different product trials now: Studio Enterprise Trial, Orchestrator Server Trial and Cloud Platform Public Preview. The reason we did this separation is because we realised most of the people asking for Enterprise Trial would not install Orchestrator in their environments (since this requires some infrastructure work and more in-depth technical knowledge).
Studio Enterprise Trial - you can request it only with a business email. You will receive an email with the UiPathStudio.msi installer and a Trial key which expires 60 days from the moment you activate it. This is a per user key, so you cannot activate it on more than one user account. Also, you can only activate Studio with this key (for Robots or Orchestrator it won’t work).
Orchestrator Server Trial - you can request it only with a business email. You will receive an email with the UiPathPlatformInstaller.exe installer and a Trial key for your Orchestrator instance. This installer allows you to install Orchestrator on your server and Studio and Robot on your machines. The Trial key you receive will only work to activate your Orchestrator instance. You can then license your other Studios and Robots by connecting them to your Orchestrator. The validity is the same as for Studio Enterprise: 60 days from the moments you activate.
Cloud Platform Public Preview - when you first join platform.uipath.com you will have a Community subscription. If you enroll in our Insider Program (only for companies) Insider Preview Program | UiPath you will get the Public Preview subscription (more robots in Orchestrator Cloud). There is no Trial yet for Cloud Platform since the Enterprise version is not yet General Available.
Keep in mind that enterprise companies can also use Community Edition for evaluation. That means that if your company wants to check on a feature that is not yet available in an Enterprise release they can do so (not in production).
Also, if you have suggestions on how to improve the Trial flow and remove the confusion, please write them and tag me. I’ll be more than happy to gather them on and work on a flow that makes sense for you too.
Thanks!
