Setting up a trial

Question 1

Emailing verified trials

Answer 1

Before you purchase from an authorized partner, transfer your account to the partner. To find one that suits your organization, go to the Partner Directory.
Users must be invited, not created.
Users only have access to apps and services available for the organization.
Super Admin is the only admin role available. Custom roles and granular privileges are available only for domain-verified accounts.
You can only manage user experiences related to the subscriptions of the organization.
You** cannot create Groups for Business** until the domain is verified. Group-based policies might be impacted. For details, see Get started managing groups for an organization.
Ideal for managed guest or Kiosk sessions, or sessions that don’t require user or group management.

Question 2

Verifying domains

Answer 2

Step 1: Get access to your domain host

To verify your domain with Google, you must have:

The sign-in information for your domain host—Your host is typically where you bought your domain, such as GoDaddy or Enom. If you’re not sure where you bought your domain, go to Identify your domain host.
Access to your domain's DNS settings/records—You'll need to update your domain’s DNS settings (also called DNS records). Most domain hosts let you do this yourself, by signing in to your account at the host. Others may update your settings for you.

If your domain host doesn't allow updating DNS settings, you can verify your domain by updating files at your domain's website. 

Step 2: Update your domain settings (use the domain verification tool)
Sign in to your Google Admin console.

Sign in using an administrator account,
In the Admin console, go to Menu ““and then”” Account and thenDomains.
Click Manage domains > Verify domain ownership. Then follow the steps in the verification tool.

Important: If a message appears that says you can’t verify your domain, go to “If you can’t verify your domain” below.
When it’s time to verify your domain, you’ll be asked to sign in to your domain host. You’ll get a verification record to add to your domain’s DNS settings. Or, you can add a tag or file to your website’s files.

Click below for step-by-step instructions to add the verification record for your host. Also find generic steps if your host isn’t listed.

GO TO VERIFICATION STEPS FOR YOUR DOMAIN HOST

Important: The verification record doesn’t affect your existing website or email.
After you add the verification record to your DNS settings, you’ll tell the verification tool to look for this record. After a few minutes (though it might take up to 1 hour), you’ll get a confirmation message that your domain is verified.
(If you’re using Essentials Starter edition) Follow the instructions to upgrade your subscription to Enterprise Essentials within 8 days; otherwise, domain verification will be canceled.
If there are other teams using an email-verified Google account in your domain, follow the on-screen instructions to merge the teams with yours.

For details about merging teams and the recommended actions to take before and after you complete domain verification, see the section “Merging teams after domain verification” below.

Step3 Set up billing (required to avoid account suspension)
Sign in to your Google Admin console.

Sign in using an account with super administrator privileges
In the Admin console, go to Menu ““and then”” Billing and then Subscriptions.
Under Subscriptions, next to your Google service—such as Essentials or Chrome Enterprise Upgrade)—click Set up billing.
Follow the instructions to set up billing.

Question 3

Answer 3

Go to the sign-up page for your service:
Essentials sign-up page
Chrome Enterprise sign-up page
Sign up using your email address at the domain you’re verifying.
Use an address where you can get mail.
Follow the instructions in the section “I’m already an admin for a Google service” above.
