Celonis Free Plan & Academic Alliance no longer accessible for new users — is this discontinued?

Question

Hi everyone ,I noticed that the Celonis Free Plan and Academic Alliance are no longer available for new users.After completing sign-up, logging into the Celonis Accounts page shows only the following applications:- Celonis Academy – Become a Celonis expert now- Celonis Community – Your place to exchange, connect, and grow- Celonis Customer Support Center – Need help? Ask questions, get answers, report issues- Celonis For Consulting – Celonis For Consulting HubNo actual access to the Celonis process mining platform is provided.The Celonis website still promotes "Try for Free" everywhere, but there is no way for new users to trial the platform at this moment.Is this a temporary glitch or has the Free Plan been permanently discontinued for new users? 	Is there an alternative way to access the platform for a POC?Curious to hear from the community!Best Regards,Bhaskar Rambala

​@Bhaskar RambalaYeah, you aren't the only one. Celonis recently gated the instant self-serve Free Plan. The public "Try for Free" basically just gives you Academy/Community access nowIf u need to do a real POC, your best route is requesting a sandbox via the Partner Portal or contacting sales directly for a demo tenant.For the Academic Alliance, u can't use the generic signup anymore either. You have to use a specific tenant invite link from your university professor or email academic.alliance@celonis.com to get your workspace provisionedPro-tip: Some advanced Academy courses still spin up temporary embedded training environments in your browser while u take them, if u just want hands-on practice!Celonis Partner Portal
