The free trial will be provisioned within the MSP partners existing environment and will have a duration of 30 days. There will be a maximum of 100 devices allowed to be enrolled in the trial environment. Free trials can be converted to paid subscription engagements at any point during the initial 30 days.

Then access the Funds Management tab, and then Cloud Provider Funds. This launches the Cloud Provider Funds page view.

You may need to scroll down to ensure you are attempting to add using the correct contract. Once here, you will click Add Services. Next you will arrive at the Configurator page. You will want to select New Service, and select Start, and navigate to AirWatch or Workspace ONE on the drop down menu provided.
