Activate Trial Licenses for Panda Products

If your account does not already have an active license for a Panda product, you can try that product free for 30 days on a trial license. Panda trial licenses have 100 users, are valid for 30 days, and can be renewed for another 30 days.

The license activation process is different for Partner accounts and end-user accounts:

• WatchGuard Partner accounts — Activate your trial licenses in Panda Cloud
• WatchGuard end-user accounts — Activate your trial licenses in the WatchGuard Support Center

The first time you activate a license for a Panda product, you must link your Panda account and your WatchGuard account. If you do not have a Panda account, you create one as part of the activation process.
