NICOLETTE STEPAKOFF: Hey, Nicolette here.
I'm a Google Workspace specialist,
focused on public sector.
And today, we will be discussing how to sign up
for a Google Workspace trial.
So now that you understand a little bit more
about the security features that are included in an Enterprise
Plus license--
psst, check out our earlier videos
if you haven't seen them yet--
you might be wondering how you can test this out.
Well, we have the answer for you.
You can sign up for a trial using the link below.
A Google Workspace trial is going
to allow you to test out certain Google Workspace
services for a limited time.
In no way will you have to purchase Google Workspace
after your trial period, nor will the trial
automatically convert to a paid Workspace instance.
If you would like to extend your trial period,
go ahead and reach out to us.
Now, there are two options to sign up for a trial.
You can sign up online, which I'll walk you through today.
Or you can contact a licensed reseller who will walk you
through setting up a trial instance and, if you choose,
help move you to an Enterprise paid
version of Google Workspace.
So let's begin by setting up an online trial via the Google
Workspace website.
We're going to go ahead and start on the website here.
I'm going to bring your gaze to the upper left corner
where you see Solutions.
We'll go ahead and click on Solutions.
Now, to sign up for an online trial,
we are going to choose Workspace for Business.
Since we are in government, we always
recommend that our government clients
sign up for a Google Workspace Enterprise trial
and use the enterprise licenses.
With the Google Workspace Enterprise trial,
please use the link below to sign up
with one of our resellers.
They'll shepherd you through the process
and make sure that your trial is as smooth as possible.
And, again, if you decide to move forward
with Google Workspace, which we hope you do,
they'll shepherd you through that process also.
But for today, we'll go ahead and sign up for a Google
Workspace Business trial.
Once I click on Google Workspace Business, the first option
we'll have is the giant, blue Get Started button.
From here, we'll fill out our business details.
So I'll type in my business name.
I'll let Google know how large my business is and the region
that I'm located.
In the lower left, I'll choose that blue Next button
and we'll fill out our contact info.
Does our business have a domain?
Now, if you do not have a domain or you
would like to set up a new domain, you can go ahead
and say, No, I need one.
That will make sure that you sign up for a Google domain
while setting up your Workspace trial.
I already have a domain.
So I'll choose, Yes I have one I can use.
And I'll enter my domain.
In the lower left, we'll choose that blue Next button.
And Google is going to verify my domain.
Once it's verified, we'll go ahead and select, again,
that blue Next button in the lower left.
The next option says, Educate your users.
So if I select "OK" here, what this is going to do
is it will send my users emails on how
to use the platform so I don't have
to worry about any onboarding.
For now, I'm going to go ahead and say, No, thanks.
Now I'm going to set up my credentials, so my login
or username and my password.
I'll check the box for reCAPTCHA that says "I'm not a robot."
And I'll Agree and continue.
We'll go ahead and say Next.
We would like the Flex plan.
And we'll type in our billing information.
Now, you are not going to be billed for the 14 days.
And you can cancel at any time.
So I'll go ahead and add in my address.
Once we have our credit card information in,
we'll say Agree and Continue.
Now that we've set up our Workspace trial,
we'll go ahead and choose the blue Continue
to next step button.
From here, we'll be taken to the Google Admin Console
where we can start setting up our Workspace trial.
Don't forget, if you want to be shepherded
through this process, go ahead and use the link below
to reach out to one of our licensed resellers.
Thanks for joining today.
