--- title: Get started with OT monitoring - Microsoft Defender for IoT description: Use this quickstart to set up a trial OT plan with Microsoft Defender for IoT and understand the next steps required to configure your network sensors. ms.topic: get-started ms.date: 11/17/2024 #CustomerIntent: As a prospective Defender for IoT customer with OT networks, I want to understand how I can set up a trial and evaluate Defender for IoT. --- # Start a Microsoft Defender for IoT trial This article describes how to set up a trial license and create an initial OT plan for Microsoft Defender for IoT, for customers who don't have any Microsoft tenant or Azure subscription at all. Use Defender for IoT to monitor network traffic across your OT networks. A trial supports a **Large** site size with up to 1,000 devices. You might want to use this trial with a [virtual sensor](tutorial-onboarding.md) or on-premises sensors to monitor traffic, analyze data, generate alerts, understand network risks and vulnerabilities, and more. There are two stages to starting a trial for Defender for IoT. 1. Stage 1: [Add a trial license](#add-a-trial-license). 1. Stage 2: [Add an OT plan](#add-an-ot-plan). Once you set up the trial license and OT plan, you can onboard OT sensors and associate them with this license and plan. For more information, see [Free trial](billing.md#free-trial). A trial license can be extended up to 15 days before the trail expires. For more information, see [extend your trial license](license-and-trial-license-extention.md#trial-license-extension). ## Prerequisites Before you start, you need: 1. An email address to be used as the contact for your new Microsoft tenant. 1. A Microsoft tenant, with Global or Billing admin access to the tenant.
