HomeBuilder Install and Subscribe (Tree Trial)

Thank you for your interest in HomeBuilder on Microsoft Dynamics Business Central.

3 Free Trial Licensing Options

We offer three main free trial licensing options for professionals looking to try out SuiteEngine HomeBuilder software:

1. Starting a license from Production as a trial.

• This is the most common option, you take a 30-day trial from Microsoft to use Business Central (that will create your Production environment) and then use the 30-day HomeBuilder trial.
• To get a 30-day MS Dynamics Business Central Trial, click  Install from AppSource.
• Afterwards, follow the information in this article.
• Once the free trial expires, you can cancel or seamlessly continue with regular licensing.

2. Starting a HomeBuilder license from a Sandbox – i.e. creating a HomeBuilder trial with the intention of moving to Production later.

• In this case, you already use MS Dynamics Business Central and are going to try out Homebuilder software in your Sandbox environment.
• Follow the information in this article. If you decide to use our software in the Production environment, you will need to repeat the process in the Production environment.

3. Taking a Production environment (without HomeBuilder) and creating a test (Sandbox) environment to download the HomeBuilder 30-day trial.

• To create a copy of your Business Central Production environment, follow Managing Production and Sandbox Environments in the Admin Center.
• Afterwards, follow the information in this article. If you decide after your 30-day trial in the Sandbox that you want to use our software in the Production environment, you will need to repeat the process in the Production environment.

Note

In the situation that you already run HomeBuilder software in Production and would like to create a whole new Sandbox with all the companies you normally use in Production, follow Copying Production Environment (with HomeBuilder) to a Sandbox.
