Let your agent handle the expired trial reset.
Give your agent the Gateway URL and an API key, then choose a one-time reset or scheduled checks. The skill reads trial status, requests a reset only after the timer has expired, and verifies that the new trial is running.
Why it was made
- Checks both expired=true and zero seconds remaining before requesting a reset.
- Reads status after the request so an HTTP response alone is not treated as proof.
- Keeps the API key outside the downloaded skill and avoids printing it in logs.
- Asks before creating a schedule. A one-time request stays a one-time request.
Common use cases
- Ask an agent to check and reset an expired trial on your Ignition 8.3 evaluation Gateway.
- Schedule expiry checks with Windows Task Scheduler or Linux cron on a host you control.
- Walk through Gateway API key setup when you have not created one yet.
- Inspect the result as reset verified, active trial skipped, no trial modules, or an error.
Proof style
Verify the renewed trial status.
The supplied API notes record a reset on Ignition 8.3.9. The tested POST route was absent from that Gateway's OpenAPI schema, so verify behavior and permissions on your installed version. Trial expiry still interrupts unlicensed modules. Scheduled checks do not guarantee immediate recovery or uninterrupted operation. A two-hour check interval can leave an expired trial waiting nearly two hours.
Example prompt
Use the Ignition 8.3 Trial Reset skill on my Gateway. First check the version and trial status. If the trial has expired and the countdown is zero, request one reset and verify the new status. Ask me for a missing API key or permission to help create one. Do not create a schedule.This is the kind of focused instruction the skill is designed to make useful. The value is in the checks and Ignition-specific defaults the AI uses after reading the skill.
Expected output
- Confirms the target Gateway and available API credentials.
- Reads the current trial status and skips a trial that is still active.
- Requests one reset after expiry, then confirms the renewed countdown.
- Reports an error or unverified result without blindly repeating a POST.
