Limitations of CDP trial

Juanes — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:08:32 GMT

Good afternoon,

I'm about to deploy CDP 7.1.8 and CP 7.7.1 but seems the licensing is going to take some time, my question is:

is the Trial version same as licensed one? can I install Trial version and then update the cluster with the license?

Question key:

I'm about to build an HA environment, that means to deploy external Postgresql database, can I install Trial but to avoid using the embedded one?

Many thanks in advance.

Yes, you shall use the Trial version and then update your license. Also you shall go with External DB instead of Embedded one.

For more details related to license kindly take a look on this Product Documentation
