Help us break it.
Get it free for life.
We're looking for ~30 network engineers and cert students who'll use OML for real and tell us where it falls over. Lifetime Pro license in exchange.
Tell us where to send the OVA.
Drop your email and we'll send the appliance OVA + a 1-page onboarding doc when your wave goes out. Waves go out every 1–2 weeks. No spam, no drip campaign, no follow-ups if you'd rather not — just the invite.
By requesting an invite you agree to receive a single confirmation email. We don't share your email. Unsubscribe is one click in the invite.
- ✓Lifetime Pro license — not "during beta," lifetime. Unlimited nodes, multi-user, all current and future Pro features.
- ✓Direct line to the founder. Reply to any email; I read every one. DM me on Discord. Bug reports skip the queue.
- ✓Priority on vendor templates. Want F5, A10, Aruba, Citrix, custom Linux distros? Beta testers vote first.
- ✓Credits, if you want them. Your name in the public credits page. Or stay anonymous — no preference.
- ·Use it for real over ~30 days. Build a lab you'd actually build — CCNA prep, a production change, a multi-vendor scenario. Not a 5-minute kick of the tires.
- ·Tell us when it breaks. Bugs, weird UX, missing features, things that should obviously work but don't. Brevity is fine — "X is broken on Y" beats long-form essays.
- ·One 15-min call, optional. If you're up for it, we'll do a single screenshare to watch you use it. The most valuable feedback we can get. Skip if you don't want to.
- ·No NDA. Talk about it publicly, screenshot it, tweet about it, write a blog post — we want you to.
Cert students (CCNA → CCIE), working network/security engineers, training providers, and people who've spent at least one Saturday wrestling with EVE-NG or CML and thought there has to be a better way.
Not looking for: marketers who want a "free tool" for content, sales engineers from competing products, or anyone who needs an enterprise pilot — that's a separate conversation, just email [email protected] directly.
Your OML Beta Testing License is provided free of charge in exchange for active participation. You agree to contribute regularly — reporting bugs, sharing lab/usage screenshots, or submitting reviews and feedback that help improve OML. If no qualifying contribution is received within 30 days of activation, OML Labs reserves the full right to cancel or revoke your Beta Testing License at any time, without notice. Beta software is provided as-is, for evaluation only.
