To register for a trial or purchase a subscription to an
Oracle Cloud service, you must have Oracle dot com account. If you do not
have an
Oracle dot com account, the system prompts you to create an account.
The first time you attempt to sign up for an Oracle Cloud Service,
provide the pertinent details to create
your Oracle Cloud dot com account. From the user verification page
you will request your verification code. Oracle Cloud uses verification codes to
check your identity before processing your request for trial subscription.
Oracle Cloud sends verification code to your mobile phone.
Enter your mobile phone number. Click Send text message.
Check your phone for a text message from Oracle Cloud.
Enter the code and code in the Code Received field. Note,
verification codes are valid for one-time use
and expire after 48 hours. Review the service details page.
When signing up for a trial, just accept the defaults.
Read and accept the terms and conditions in trial agreement before continuing.
The review summary page displays the following details
Service information displays the type of service you requested,
the name of the service, the name and type the services included of any,
and the identity domain to which service belongs. In addition
the review summary page lists the name and type the service included
with your trial request if any. For example the trial subscription for Oracle Java Cloud
service
always includes Oracle Database Cloud service which is created in the same
identity domain.
Order information displays your order ID
which is a unique identifier for this order
and the order date. Refer to the order ID
whenever you contact Oracle about billing or payment issues.
Trial information displays a trial duration, usually 30 days.
You can extend the trial subscription for some services.
When the processing of your trial request is completed
Oracle sends you an email message. Email includes information about
how to activate your service. Alternatively, you can click the the My Account link
on review summary page, sign in to My Account, and
monitor when your service is ready for activation. When your trial subscription
is ready to be activated, you will receive an e-mail
from Oracle Cloud. Click Activate Order
in the email you receive from Oracle Cloud dot com to activate
your order. Since I'm already signed in,
the My Account Application opens immediately and displays the details
page
for the service. On the details page for the service
displays message at the top of the page indicating the service has been submitted for
activation.
Activation is in progress. You receive another email when the service is active
and ready to use.
Once the activation of Oracle Cloud Services is complete,
you'll receive a post activation email which will contain
sign in credentials, to include username, temporary password, and identity domain
with the service provision, My Services URL.
The email also contains the My Account URL,
in case you want to view all of the services prescribed to your account.
Now I'm going to employ the
my services URL from the email. The first time I sign in to My Services, I
will be prompted to enter a temporary password
and identity domain for the service.
Then, I'll immediately be redirected to the identity domain console
to reset my temporary password.
Provide answers to the password challenge questions.
If the password you provide does not comply with the policy,
reenter a password that does comply
with the password policy.
As a service administrator or an identity domain administrator
you use My Services to verify that your Oracle Cloud service is up and running.
In addition, you can use My Services to monitor
utilization, view service details, and access
any control panels and associated tools for the Oracle Cloud service.
Clicking on the service URL launches
the Oracle Cloud service, in this case the Database as a Service.
And that is all there is to it.
Your trial service is now up and running. This concludes
our demonstration on how to sign up for an Oracle Cloud
trial. For more information
