Signing up for a Cloud macOS trial
Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud
Important
This documentation is for a pre-release feature still under development and, therefore, incomplete. As a result, both functionality and documentation are subject to change.
Once this feature is released, it will be announced and this banner removed.
As Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud supports Apple macOS devices, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial to see if it meets your needs before committing to purchasing licenses.
To sign up for the trial, you can click Try it now in the following locations:
The header notification area
The banner shown at the top of the App Catalog

Under the macOS option when creating a deployment.

When you click Try it now, you then have the option of either:
Typing or using the controls to enter the total number of devices you want to license for the trial in the Enter the total number of macOS devices to license box.
Clicking Request a Quote to request a quote for a non-trial license to manage your macOS devices using PMPC Cloud.

Once you’ve entered the number of devices for the trial, click Start Now

The Your30-day trial expires on <expiry date> confirmation is shown.

Make a note of the expiry date and our contact details in case you need to contact us, then click Close
Once your trial has started, you see the following countdown at the top of the portal advising you of how many days you have left on your trial.

When your trial expires, you see the following notification at the top of the portal:
Your macOS trial license has expired. To continue managing macOS apps, license your macOS devices today: Request a Quote
Click Request a Quote if you would like to receive a quote for purchasing macOS licenses and provide the requested information.
Once your macOS trial expires
At the end of your macOS trial, if you chose not to obtain paid licenses:
You will be unable to create any new macOS deployments or modify/delete any existing macOS deployments.
If a new version of a macOS app is released that you deployed during your trial, the updated version will not be deployed.
If you used the Discovery feature to Manage Cloud Managed Apps for macOS devices during your trial, once your trial expires, any macOS-related apps will remain in the Managed tab of Discovery but will be greyed out, and you won’t be able to perform any actions on them. Once you enter a valid license key, you will be able to create new macOS deployments and manage any existing ones created by your expired trial.
Tip
If you have created deployments during your trial and do not plan to purchase a macOS license, we recommend deleting any macOS deployments before your trial expires. We do not delete such deployments automatically in case you decide to purchase a macOS license after your trial expires, as if you enter a valid license key, you will be able to create new macOS deployments and manage any existing ones created by your expired trial.
