Hi @Chin123 ,

You don't need a license for using GP in windows or mac. you can test your GP by downloading the GP from the support portal and installing it.

Please refer the document https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/globalprotect/8-0/globalprotect-admin/globalprotect-overview/about-globalprotect-licenses.html

@Chin123,

Something to keep in mind is that PAN doesn't do free lab licenses. You can purchase a LAB SKU or you can get your SE to generate a trial license for you if you already have an account team, but there's really not a free license you can use to play around with outside of that.

I am looking to activate my PA-VM 10.1.0 in my VMware environment for practice labs. Could you please provide information on how I can purchase the required license? Additionally, if there are any options for a free trial or evaluation license, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.

you can reach out to a reseller to get a quote. You'll need to calculate how many flex credits you need depending on the features you need: Software NGFW Credits Estimator - Palo Alto Networks
