# Trials

All Hedge products come with a lengthy and 99% fully featured trial. Before purchasing one of our products, please start or activate a trial and test it in your workflow.

If you run into any hurdles or have questions, feel free to reach out – <hello@hedge.video>. We're happy to extend a trial on any of our apps as needed.

Trials are limited to one per customer. Once activated on a computer, an app trial is bound to that computer; we cannot move trials between computers.&#x20;

## Trial Limitations

Over the years, we've learned people try to use trials for paid work. That's not very ethical, we feel - if you make money using our software, you should be paying for it. Trials are for testing, not work. We don't like to limit functionality, so we have a few tiny limitations in some of our trials.

* When trialing OffShoot, checksums in Transfer Logs and (ASC)MHL files are obscured. If you need to test (ASC)MHL round trips, reach out for a qualified trial license.
* When trialing Canister, checksums are obscured. They are created and used for verification, but not fully printed in the logs.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hedge.video/general/trials.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
