There's no sign-up necessary to try out the Grapher Preview track, you just need to download and install the preview build. If you have a Grapher license under active maintenance, you will be able to use the preview build in lieu of, or in addition to, your current version of Grapher until your maintenance expires.

• If you have a Grapher license that has expired maintenance, you will need to purchase a maintenance renewal to use Grapher Preview.
• If you have an old Grapher license that does not have maintenance, you will need to purchase an upgrade before December 2020 to use Grapher Preview. After that, the upgrade program will end, replaced by software maintenance.
• If you are currently using the Grapher Trial then you will need to purchase a Grapher license to access Grapher Preview.
