Demo environment

Posted on by Lisa Benedict 20

When I'm in our company environment, I can't seem to perform normal functions like cutting a check. It keeps erroring out. Someone I use to work with told me I have to pay to use a functioning Demo environment. Is this true and how much is the subscription?

I have the same question (0)

    Here are some info on how to start your trail:

    You can also run BC as a trail version in a docker container on your local computer.

    The price for Business Central differs depending on the region you are in .

    Hi, I think it is a setting problem. You can recheck the relevant settings of Check, or debug in the Sandbox environment to find the problem.

    PS:

    Business Central Trials and Subscriptions:

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.

    Do we know if the Demo environments upgrade automatically with Major changes? and if so, is there a timeframe for the upgrades?

    Demo environments and sandboxes are upgraded with in the same time frame as ordinary production environments.

    But remember that an ordinary demo environment only have a duration for 30 days unless it is extended.
