How Do I Retrieve the Free Trials for My Organization

You can retrieve information about the trials available to your organization.

VMware Cloud Director service offers a free trial that you can use to explore different customer use cases and proof-of-concept scenarios.

As part of your free trial, you can create two VMware Cloud Director trial instances within your VMware Cloud organization for a duration of 30 days with no billing applied to them. For details, see About Free Trial.

You can use the VMware Cloud Director service API to retrive information about the trials that are available to your organization.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that you are assigned the Provider Administrator role.
  • Obtain an API token from the organization you want to manage and exchange it for an access bearer token. Use the bearer token in the Authorization header when you run API calls. See How Do I Generate an API Token.

  • ♦ Run a GET request. 
    GET https://operatorUrl/organizations/organizationUrn/trials

    Here operatorUrl is the operator URL, for example vcdc-operator-prod-us-west-2.vdp.vmware.com.

    The response returns results for the free trial tickets that are available to your organization.
