The trial version allows you to try out Dynamics 365 applications free of charge for 30 days.

There are two types of trial versions: "App trial version" and "Environment trial version."
(The names are my own choice and are not official names.)

Below is a simple comparison:

The "trial version of the app" allows you to try out the app with simple steps, but does not allow you to make detailed settings.
The "Trial Environment" requires you to create an environment, but allows you to make detailed settings.

Below we will explain how to obtain each trial version.
