Are NoMachine server products available as evaluation software?
Yes. All NoMachine server products are available for evaluation with a 14-day trial license.
You can download the software free of charge from the NoMachine website and activate it using a license file. The license file is obtained separately and must be generated from your User Area, so you will need a NoMachine account to create an evaluation license.
Please note that evaluation license files function with online validation. This means that an active internet connection is required to validate the license through the NoMachine licensing server. If you are operating in isolated, restricted, or air-gapped environment, please reach out to our Sales Team at sales@nomachine.com to obtain a license format with offline validation. For more information about how our online licensing server works, please consult this article.
How to start your evalution:
• Download the software you want to evaluate for your operating system (OS).
• Create an account if you didn't do so already.
• Login to the NoMachine website, and navigate to User Area > Software > Evaluations panel
• Select the product and OS for which you want to generate the evaluation license.
• An email will be sent to you containing installation instructions and the license file as an attachment. You can also download the license key directly from your User Area.
• Install the software as per the instructions obtainable from the website and in the email you received previously.
• Upload the license key you received when prompted.
An evaluation license can be generated once per product, per OS. If you require a longer evaluation period, please contact our Sales Team to discuss an extension.
