We're already part of their Scan program:

in Rung 1, although the last run appears to have been back in October

I'm not sure whether they're offering a free trial in the sense of being 
able to download a version of their software, or just in the sense that 
they'll run the software for you once (i.e., I'm not sure what they man 
by "you will receive a complimentary report detailing actionable 
analysis results").
