Trial Licenses

This page lists the trial licenses your customers have, with their start and end dates. You can also search for a customer, create new trial licenses and convert trial licenses to full Sophos Central licenses, and create Monthly Usage accounts from trial accounts. See Update billing type.

For more help on monthly usage accounts, see Monthly Usage Account.

You can unlink trials accounts. See Unlink customer accounts.

Start New Trial

To start a new trial, do as follows:

  1. Go to My Business > Customers > Trial Licenses.
  2. Select Start New Trial. This opens the Create a new trial account online form in Sophos Partner Portal.

  3. Fill in the details of the customer.

    Enter their organization name, address, email, and so on.

  4. Select Create Trial Account.

The new trial appears in Sophos Central Partner. No email notifications about new trials are sent.

Apply License Key

You can convert a trial license by buying a Sophos Central license.

Once you have purchased a Sophos Central license, a license key is issued and sent to the email address you specified at the time of ordering.

If the license key has been sent to you, enter the license key in Sophos Central Partner.

If the activation key has been sent to your customer, they will have to enter it in their Sophos Central Admin console.

The term of the license will begin once the license key is entered.

For more information, see Apply License Key.
