How Labs Tools Licensing Works

To access CDW Amplified for Education tools, you need a license. The different license states (trial, full, lapsed, and expired) govern what features of each tool are available. Let's take a look at the access each license state provides.

Trial license

Trial licenses start with a quote and last 30-days. The date of your quote is the first day of your trial. With a trial license, there are some limits, and because each product is different, the limits are specific to each tool's functionality. The table below explains the access limit for each tool.

Note: If you have received a quote but do not have access to a trial, contact your account manager to start the trial.

Using the trial

After login, a notification lets you know you are in a trial state.
During the trial, when you initiate a metered action, a notification lets you know that you are about to use one of your available actions. You’ll need to confirm to continue.

Full license

With a full license, you have complete access to the tool and support for a 365-day subscription. A full license term begins the day after a trial license ends, no matter which day of your trial you purchase. As your license approaches renewal (30-days prior), you will see a renewal notification when you log in. If you reach the end of the subscription term without renewing, the license changes to a lapsed state.

Lapsed and Expired licenses

Renewing your subscription keeps it active, allowing you to continue to use the latest version of the tool. Tool licenses not renewed, enter a lapsed subscription state after the 365-day subscription term. Lapsed licenses work differently than expired licenses. While in a lapsed state, you still have limited use of the tool. A notification lets you know that your license lapsed and lets you initiate a renewal. After the lapsed period (90-days), your license expires, and your access to the tool is disabled.
