Some of the features described in this help topic are only available to participants in the WatchGuard Beta test community. If a feature described in this topic is not available in your WatchGuard Cloud account, it is a beta-only feature.
In WatchGuard Cloud, trial licenses for AuthPoint and WatchGuard Endpoint Security products and modules are available on the Trials page. Service Providers can start trials for their account and accounts they manage. All trial licenses are valid for 30 days, and can be renewed for another 30 days to a maximum of 60 days. You can only extend the trial once within 60 days of the start date.
Trial licenses include 250 users for AuthPoint Multi-Factor Authentication or AuthPoint Total Identity Security or 250 endpoints for WatchGuard Endpoint Security.
For Endpoint Security trials:
- If the account has EDR Core (Total Security Suite) with fewer than 250 endpoints, then the trial includes a maximum of 250 endpoints.
- If the account has EDR Core (Total Security Suite) with more than 250 endpoints, then the trial includes a maximum number of endpoints that matches the Total Security Suite license.
- If the account has an existing Endpoint Security product such as WatchGuard EDR for fewer than 250 endpoints, then the trial includes a maximum of 250 endpoints.
- If the account has an existing Endpoint Security product such as WatchGuard EDR for more than 250 endpoints, then the trial includes a maximum number of endpoints that matches the product license.
When a trial expires and cannot be extended, all trials for that product are unavailable for 90 days. WatchGuard Cloud saves the settings in the trial product or module for 90 days after the trial expires. If you convert a trial license to a term license, all settings in the trial license transfer to the term license. If an EDR Core license is activated during a trial of WatchGuard EPP, EDR, or EPDR, the trial is not canceled.
WatchGuard EPP, EDR, and EPDR trials activate the same number of endpoints for WatchGuard Endpoint Security modules.
If you have a license for EDR Core and then start a trial for WatchGuard EPP, EDR, or EPDR, EDR Core shows as Inactive in the inventory.
When an account with an existing AuthPoint license trials Total Identity Security, the trial applies to all the account users (there is no user limit).
