Free trial
There are three ways to evaluate MaestroHub: a free download, a time-limited trial licence, or a paid Proof of Value for a defined use case. Choose the option that fits your evaluation needs. You can also move directly to annual licensing when you're ready.
1Start here
No licence, no form to wait on
Download MaestroHub and start it without a licence key. It runs on an evaluation licence with every feature, Enterprise ones included, in two-hour sessions, and you can start a new session as often as you like.
2When two hours is too short
A time-limited key from our team
If you need pipelines to keep running overnight or across a week of testing, ask for a trial licence. It removes the two-hour session limit for an agreed period.
3With our engineers
Validate a defined use case with your own data
Work with our team to evaluate a specific use case using your operational data. Scope, timeline, responsibilities and pricing are agreed before the project begins.
The free trial's limits
10:00Start
Start MaestroHub without a licence key. Every feature is on, Enterprise ones included, and your pipelines run on their schedules.
22:00Session ends
Automated and scheduled pipelines pause. Your data, pipelines, dashboards, connections and user accounts stay where they are, and you can still sign in and review them.
3RestartNew session
Restart the MaestroHub service and a fresh two-hour session begins. Repeat as many times as you want.
At any point
A trial licence removes the session limit, so scheduled pipelines keep running overnight or through a week of testing. Paste the key on the License page while MaestroHub runs: no restart, no data migration.
Scope: the trial includes every licensed feature, Enterprise ones too, such as up to three workspaces on one instance, and the Approvals add-on. Advanced access control is coming soon and is not in the trial. It runs on one machine; multi-node high availability needs an Enterprise deployment.

Questions
No. The free trial needs no licence key and no call. Download it from the portal, start it, and it runs.
The free trial is what MaestroHub does when it starts with no licence: every feature, Enterprise ones included, in two-hour sessions that you restart yourself. A trial licence is a time-limited key we issue on request. It removes the session limit, so scheduled pipelines keep running for the whole evaluation period.
Automated and scheduled pipelines pause. Nothing is deleted: your data, pipelines, dashboards, connections and user accounts stay exactly where they are. Restart the service for another session, or apply a licence key to continue without interruption.
No. You paste the licence key on the License page while MaestroHub is running. The edition changes at once, with no restart and no data migration, and everything you built during the trial is still there.
Yes. The free Digital Factory Simulator gives you a four-station production line with 100+ sensor tags over OPC UA, Modbus TCP, MQTT, REST and PostgreSQL, running on your own machine.
On your own machine or server: Windows, macOS or Linux, or as a Docker image. Nothing has to leave your network.
From inside the product there is a trial licence extension request that reaches our team, or you can write to info@maestrohub.com. Tell us what you want to test and for how long.
Download the free trial to explore MaestroHub on your own, or get in touch to discuss licensing, implementation support and a paid Proof of Value if needed.
