License requirements

To install Trimble Access 2023.10, licenses are required for the General Survey app as well as for each Trimble Access app you want to use.

  • Perpetual licenses

    Perpetual licenses are licensed to the controller. The controller must have a Trimble Access Software Maintenance Agreement valid up to 1 October 2024.

  • Subscriptions

    Subscription licenses are assigned to an individual user. When used with a subscription license, you can install Trimble Access 2023.10 onto any supported controller.

For more information, see Required software licenses in the Trimble Access Help Portal.

Don't have a current license? You can still try out the software

If you do not have the required licenses you may be able to try out the software for a limited time.

The options are:

  • Create a 48-hour license for Trimble Access if you are not able to sign in and use your subscription or if you have purchased a perpetual license but it has not yet been assigned to your controller.
  • Create a 30-day Demonstration license for Trimble Access if the controller does not have a current perpetual license. This type of temporary license is available on supported Windows and Android controllers.
  • Create a 30-day Trial license for specific Trimble Access apps if the controller has a current perpetual license, but no license for the specific app you want to try. This type of temporary license is available only on supported Windows controllers.

For more information, see Installing a temporary license in the Trimble Access Help Portal.
