Questions worth asking.

What consumes a license?Technicians, concurrent sessions, support PCs or every managed endpoint produce very different bills.

Which tools are tiered?Check whether background administration, browser access, recording or unattended access requires another plan.

What networks must work?Test LAN, WAN, VPN, NAT, proxy, firewall, multi-monitor and high-resolution scenarios with your own hardware.

Can you leave cleanly?Review renewal, cancellation, data removal and uninstall procedures before committing.
