Getting a Docker Enterprise 30-day trial license and storebit URL

Log in to your Docker store and use the Docker Enterprise tab to select your preferred certified platform. 

Please pick a Linux distribution for the PoC, noting that any cloud products such as AWS and Azure have been deprecated. These older cloud offerings run a tiny kernel called MobyLinuxVM, which is a very lean and efficient way to run Docker, but is not something you can easily maintain yourself and is difficult to work with (it has no SSH capabilities). For these reasons and perhaps others as well, the Moby platform will only be used in special Docker managed installations such as Docker Desktop, Docker for Windows, and Docker for Mac. 

Once you select your preferred Linux distribution, then click Start 1 Month Trial. Now, complete the trial form and submit your information. You should immediately find your license information under the My Content section of the Docker store. There is a menu selection under your profile drop-down on the top-right of the screen. 

Finally, you need to click on the Setup button to display the information you will need to install the Docker Enterprise Engine, as shown in Figure 3. This is where you will find a link to download your Docker license file and your storebits URL. This is a good time to download the license to a safe directory on your local computer. Also, copy and paste the storebits URL into your favorite editor. You will need it in the next section when we configure the package manager to use the Docker repositories:
