Citrix Cloud Service Trials
Trials for individual Citrix Cloud services are delivered through the Citrix Cloud platform. The functionality in a service trial is the same as the purchased service, so they’re suitable for a proof-of-concept (POC), pilot, or similar usage.
To customize your experience and deliver the services that matter most to your users, Citrix Cloud trial access is managed on a per-service basis. For some services, you need to request a demo before you receive trial access. See Request a service demo in this article for more information.
When you’re ready to buy Citrix Cloud services, you’ll convert your trial to a production account, so there’s no need to reconfigure anything or create a separate production account.
Tip:
The “Getting Started with Citrix Cloud” education module, included in the Fundamentals of Citrix Cloud course, provides a short video that walks you through requesting a trial. The full course also gives you a firm foundation for understanding Citrix Cloud, its benefits for your organization, and important use cases that Citrix Cloud services address.

Request a service demo

- Sign in to your Citrix Cloud account.
- From the management console, click Request Demo for the service you want. The service’s demo request page appears.
- Complete and submit the form. A Citrix sales representative will contact you to provide more information and walk you through using the service.

To request a trial, log on to your Citrix Cloud account. From the management console, click Request Trial for the service you want to try out. When your trial is approved and ready to use, you’ll receive an email notification. You have 60 days to complete the trial.
Note:
To ensure the best customer experience, Citrix reserves the right to limit trials to a certain number of participants at any given time.
Purchase Citrix Cloud services
When you’re ready to convert your trial to a production service, visit https://www.citrix.com/products/citrix-cloud/.
To complete the purchase, you’ll need your Organization ID, available in the Citrix Cloud management console.
