If I do not need the license key or the promotion code, what do I need to start using the the Evaluation Edition (Linux Trial)?
You simply need to activate MicroStrategy before using the Evaluation Edition. MicroStrategy provides a grace period of 7 days to activate the installation. If you do not activate the installation within 7 days, the software will stop working. After activating the software, you can use the Evaluation Edition (Linux Trial) for 30 days.
