A trial license is limited-time or feature-restricted version of software provided for evaluation purposes. It enables potential customers to test functionality before committing to a purchase.
Trial mechanisms typically include automatic expiration or feature disabling after a set period. Licensing systems monitor usage to prevent trial extension abuse, and often include built-in upgrade paths that convert a trial into a full license.
