Considering a business management revolution with Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations? Testing the waters before buying the sea is a smart idea. Luckily, Microsoft provides a free 30-day trial to play around with F&O and get it right for your needs.

The following steps will help you avail a free trial and get familiar with Dynamics 365 F&O:

1. Go to the source of Free Trial:

Microsoft has a landing page for trialling Dynamics 365. You would never find any option for F&O since all Dynamics 365 applications follow the same path to trials. You should go to trials.dynamics.com to start off requesting.

2. Fill out the Sign-up Form:

The registration process is quite simple. You’ll need to provide your email, company name, and phone number. You will also be asked to select your country or region.

3. Unlock the Power of Guidance: This step is optional:

During sign-up, you’ll run into the opportunity to engage with a Microsoft partner. These partners are specialized in Dynamics 365 and will thus be able to give valuable advice throughout your journey on trial. This may be a good way to get help with setup or understanding how something works within F&O.

4. Welcome to Your Trial Environment:

Once you have completed the registration, Microsoft will set up your trial environment. You will be shown the login credentials for your very own instance of Dynamics 365 F&O.

5. Unleash the Exploration:

Now comes the fun! Log into the F&O platform and begin finding your way around. Microsoft includes demo data that is preloaded in the ability to enable you to play around with various features of the platform, from finance management and supply chain operations to many more.

6. Don’t miss the reminder:

Three days before your trial runs out, Microsoft will send a nice nudge. You now really get to assess whether F&O is something that would suit you in your business. If so, the possibility of easily converting your trial into a paid subscription becomes available to you.
