Existing Trials

Users can sign up for one trial of Forma Design Collaboration at a time.

As you can only have one trial active at a time, if you wish to continue trying Forma Design Collaboration you will need to download the data from your current trial before it expires.

To start another trial after your current trial expires, you will need to sign up for a new trial using the sign-up form. Once your new trial is set up, you can upload your data to the new trial.
