How does NCE trial subscriptions work?

By default, NCE trial subscriptions in Microsoft Partner Center have the renewal turned on meaning it will be converted to a paid subscription after the trial period is over.
On the other hand, NCE trial subscriptions that are provisioned/purchased through the AppXite Platform will have the renewal automatically turned off.
