 Product trial FAQs

Red Hat product trials frequently asked questions

What is a product trial? How is a Red Hat product trial different from a traditional licensed software trial?

Red Hat® product trials offer all the benefits included in a Red Hat subscription. But Red Hat product trials are more than just access to the latest code. They provide access to all versions of the software, to patches and other software updates, and to our award-winning Red Hat Customer Portal.

What is the difference between a sales-assisted product trial and a self-serve product trial?

Sales-assisted trials are offerings requested by Red Hat sales teams on behalf of a new or existing customer.

Self-serve trials are activated directly by the customer from the Red Hat product trials center.

You can always contact Red Hat Sales to help you with your product trial, whether you have a sales-assisted trial or a self-serve trial.

Who can sign up for a trial?

Anyone can request a product trial. However, some offerings require a subscription to another product, administrator access, or other prerequisite in order to access the trial. Please see the specific requirements for your trial on the main offer page, or reach out to your Red Hat sales representative for more information on the specifics of your product offering.

May I run product trial software in a production environment?

Product trials are not intended for production environments. Using product trials in a production environment is a violation of the product trial terms and conditions.

Do Red Hat product trials come with support? How do I know if my trial has support?

Some product trials offer a level of support while others are self-supported (unsupported). There are several ways to determine the support level of your product trial:

  • In the product trial name (e.g., 60 Day Product Trials Ansible Automation Platform, Self Supported). You’ll find this in the welcome email you receive when your product trial begins.
  • On the Subscriptions page in Red Hat Customer Portal.
  • On the My Trials page by hovering your cursor over the product name.
  • By contacting Sales or Customer Service.

Users with self-supported product trials have access to all product documentation as well as the vast Red Hat Knowledgebase.

If you have a sales-assisted trial, or a trial provided as part of a sales interaction, your support levels can vary.

How do I access my product trial?

Once your product trial subscription is active, you’ll have access to your product. It may be provided via a download of the latest version, or by accessing it via the cloud. You will find steps to access your product on the trial success page (the page that opens after you click “Start my trial” and is also accessible from the confirmation email you’ll receive) or by clicking on the “Explore now” link next to your product name on the My Trials page.

How long does a product trial last?

Most product trials are 60 days, but exceptions may be made at the discretion of Red Hat Sales and Customer Service based on the user’s needs.

Sales-assisted trial lengths can vary. Please refer to the My trials page to view the duration of your trial. 

What technologies can I try through this program?

Nearly all Red Hat technologies are available for a product trial. You can find a listing of available trials in the Red Hat product trial center.  If there is a product you'd like to try that isn’t listed, please contact Red Hat Sales.

Why do I need to consult with a sales representative to obtain certain product trials?

There are several possible reasons:

  1. You’ve requested more than 1 product trial.
  2. You wish to extend your current product trial beyond the trial period.
  3. Your product trial is not available via the web.
  4. You’ve requested multiple product trials as part of a bundled SKU.
  5. Your product trial requires additional approvals before being activated.

Contact Red Hat Sales to try these technologies.

Can I renew the product trial after it has expired?

There are limits to how many product trials are allowed for each product over a given time period. If you need to extend your product trial or request more trials, please contact Red Hat Sales.

I’d like to use the product trial software after my trial has expired, or I’d like to use the software in a production environment. What are my options?

  • Purchase a subscription.
  • Renew the product trial after the expiry grace period has ended.
  • Contact Red Hat Sales to determine if the product trial can be renewed sooner or if a similar product trial is available.
