Trial for MCAS

My client has EM+S E3, it is my understanding that there is a trial version of MCAS, but when I look at the Purchase Services page in the M365 Admin Center, i don't see it. I just see trials for AIP ...

Thanks, I had actually found that same link after I posted this questions. Its weird that its not available in the M365 Admin Center like all of the other trials are.

Ryan Heffernan do you know where I can get information about the MCAS trial period and limitations?

Dean_Gross It used to be in Products and you select a trial versus purchase. Not sure why it was removed. It's full featured. I have used the trial several times to ramp up customers on it to show how valuable MCAS is.

    90 days and has a one time extension by adding or associated with credit card on file. If they don't want to purchase, make sure to turn off any settings prior to the trial ending and deprovisioning. I have run into issues with settings and configurations left in place still work even through the trial has expired and no user is licensed. Had to purchase a license to fire the service back up so I could turn off or clear settings.
