Is it still possible to request one of these licenses? If so, how do I progress the request.
Many thanks
You can request an Easy8 Key here:

Thanks for your help Ken. Have a great Day.
this is now broke, can you please help?
I requested the licence but never got a reply. So, yes it seems disontinued.
I’m not sure the Easy8 program will be discontinued, I have been given contrasting responses by different Nvidia employees. What is clear is that the Bright Customer Portal is being retired, so maybe that’s why your requests have gone unanswered.
Could anybody with clearer info please chime in?
Easy-8 has been retired.
I’m not sure who is giving you conflicting information, but the official word is that it is discontinued.
Existing Easy-8 keys will continue to function until they expire.
If you need an evaluation license, please enter a support request and the license operations team will be in touch with you.

Thank you for clarifying. I was told informally that Easy-8 was here to stay, but I’ll just assume I probably misunderstood.
What about companies which are Nvidia Partners? Would it make sense for somebody to request an evaluation license to be used for internal training?
Where to see the “official word” of Easy8 discontinuation?"
Here it says “no plans to discontinue” in April:

My message above should suffice.
If you need contact from an account rep, please let me know and I’ll have someone from Sales contact you directly.
Here it says “no plans to discontinue” in April:
In April there were no plans to discontinue.
After reviewing our priorities during the transition from Legacy Bright systems to Nvidia, we decided to move in a different direction.
We understand that some of you may be disappointed, but this decision reflects the evolving needs of our business. Programs and offerings change over time, and this was simply the next step for us.
So Nvidia can discontinue a “product” via a forum post? Exactly when will it be discontinued then? No official announcement but just a forum post I suppose?
Information about licensing changes has been previously communicated to existing contacts.
If you require a testing/trial license I suggest you contact the support teams, who will relay the issue to the operations team for resolution.
