Content Library with Storyline 360 trial
When I go to use the Storyline 360 product (a part of my Articulate 360 trial), it tells me that I need to subscribe.
Can I use it with the 30 day trial?
I read somewhere yes but my does not allow me too.
Thanks

Hi Kris,
Are you having difficulty with Storyline 360 specifically or with the content library assets within Storyline 360? They should be available for you to use and view during the trial of Articulate 360. Can you tell me more about what happens when you're trying to use it?

Hi Ashley,
I think I'm running into the same thing. I'm using the 360 trial and attempting to insert a slide from the Content Library. It's telling me I need a subscription and the insert slide button has a locked padlock icon on it:

Hi Ashley,
In articulate 360 and studio 360 they are saying I need a subscription
I'm using a surface tablet.
I'm wondering if I installed it wrong
Should I reinstall as admin or something like that?
Internet explorer is my default browser.
Not sure if that matters.Thanks
Kris
Hi Tom and Kris,
First let me apologize for my lack of clarity! I had to confirm this with my team - you can see everything in content library during the trial, but only certain templates and characters are accessible to you from within the trial. The Velocity template and the characters available in the trial include: Brandon, Lily, Andrew, Laura, Atsumi, Al, Arthur, and Marilyn. So with that set up it'll give you some ability to play around with the functionality and then if you choose to subscribe you'll get access to all the goodies.

So I do not get to use the other items in the content library for making
the courses?Only a few characters?
Thanks,
Kris
hi Kris,
Once you have a valid Articulate 360 subscription you'll get access to everything you see in content library. Currently during a free trial you'll only have access to those ones I mentioned above.

Hi Ashley,
I want to use a storyline 360 template e.g. the slides of Vibrance to show my colleagues in the ompany what is possible with Articulate 360. Do I have any chance to use a template while I am still on a 30 days trial?
Thanks,
Verena Hello Verena and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Great question, but only certain templates and characters are accessible to you from within the trial. The Velocity template is available and the characters available include: Brandon, Lily, Andrew, Laura, Atsumi, Al, Arthur, and Marilyn.

I have the same problem. Your "free trial" should clearly indicate that ONLY one template is accessible.

And another problem: I signed up for very expensive 4 day live training in August. The requirements state that a trial license is acceptable for the course. But if I only have access to 1 template, how will I be able to really get the training I need with just the 30 day trial license?? I would not have signed up for the 4 day training if I had known I had to purchase Articulate first. This is very misleading advertising.
Hello S and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Sorry that the use of the Content Library items is not clear, I will certainly pass this information on to our team.
I tend to see the opposite question and users are surprised that we share the full product with our trials :)
As for your training, I'm assuming that is through a 3rd party and I do believe that is correct that all you would need is a trial. The Content Library and it's assets are a benefit to being a 360 subscriber and are not necessary to learning the fundamentals of the software. I'd follow up with the training group if you are concerned.

Hi, Leslie,
I need help understanding your statement that you "tend to see the opposite
question and users are surprised that we share the full product with our
trials :)"If free trial users are only allowed access to ONE template, how do they
share in the "full product with our trials?" Please let me know how I can
receive access to the full product.Shana
Hi Shana,
I apologize if my response was confusing.
Let's see if I can elaborate on what I meant. A user may come to the forums with an issue publishing, for instance, and assume it's because they are 'only on a trial' and that must be the issue. We actually provide full access to the apps and features of our software.
During your free trial, you have access to limited assets:
Template: Velocity
Photographic Characters: Al, Atsumi, Brandon, Laura
Illustrated Characters: Andrew, Arthur, Lily, MarilynThese assets are not required for the software to function.
When you subscribe, you get instant access to all the Content Library templates and characters.

Is it also the case that I do not have access to any of the images in the content library with a free trial?
