After all, you went looking for IT, not the other way around. Create separate Dynamic Parts for players from a combined staff. If you're actively looking for a trial software to begin with, they already know you're at least a potential customer. Software creators offer trial periods to anybody who wants to try it out so that you try it and get hooked. Do you honestly believe that the creators of the software aren't going to try to help an eager potential customer try out their software if he said he never got a chance? You're mad.
