Trial Products Frequently Asked Questions

What will I find on the Trial Products Tab?
The Trial Products tab contains two sections of information. There is a guided “Request a Trial” section and a “Download Approved Trial Products” section. BMCs process for requesting a trial via the EPD site requires that your trial is validated by a BMC representative prior to download. You are not able to download newly your requested trial immediately. Once you have been contacted by a BMC representative, an email will be sent to the email address associated to your user information. The email will contain the information needed a trial support id and pin containing the requested trial product(s). Note: The “Download Approved Trial Products” section will only appear when there are products that have been approved for trial.
