The speed of innovation, especially at Microsoft, continues to increase. As I spun up a new free 30-day trial environment for Dynamics 365 for Sales, I noticed that the site has changed a bit. I thought it was time to update everyone on how you can spin up a Dynamics 365 trial, and mention which apps offer trials and which offer a demo.
Why Would Someone Need a Trial Instance?
I can think of a number of reasons, including:
- Demos
- Playing and learning
- Proof of concept
- Testing new features
- Trying new things without effecting your Sandbox or Production environments
A trial instance will give you 30-days access to the selected apps.
Which Dynamics 365 Apps Offer a Free 30-Day Trial?
As of the time of this writing, there are a lot of different applications you can test out. There are also a few that are limited just to “request a demo.”
