Hi @Yogananda  @MarkyMark Why does free trial has so many restriction?

The SAP BDC free trial has significant limitations that make hands-on learning extremely difficult. For example:

  • You cannot create data products that can be shared with Databricks

  • Space creation authorization is restricted

  • BW PCE is not available

  • Cant install new app

These restrictions prevent users from practicing many of the new and important features of the platform.

This raises a key concern:
How are individuals supposed to learn and build real skills if they do not have access to a system through their employer?

If full capabilities cannot be offered for free, there should at least be a simple, self-service paid option for individuals. Currently, even paid access often requires:

  • Being an SAP Partner, or

  • Having an employer purchase the system first

As a result, individuals who want to invest in learning on their own are effectively blocked.

With so many restrictions, the trial system defeats its own purpose. A trial should enable users to explore and practice most of the platform’s key and newly released features , not limit them to a subset that provides only theoretical exposure.

Hi @LGarcia321 
You can access the Basic Trial system to practice. There is also a very helpful script to follow that will guide you so you can try out some very cool things.
