In this document, AutoMQ product service provider, AutoMQ service provider and AutoMQ each specifically refer to AutoMQ HK Limited.
Obtaining a License
When a new user installs the AutoMQ Cloud BYOC environment for the first time, a built-in free trial license is provided by default, allowing for a quick experience of AutoMQ without purchase.
