summary: 'Fortanix does not publish a separate test-mode API with magic test values.
  Non-production access is a real, time-boxed SaaS trial account on the production
  DSM SaaS endpoints, plus an interactive "Try it" console embedded in the API reference.'
test_vs_live:
  model: trial-account
  note: 'There is no test/live key-prefix split. A trial account issues real API keys
    against a real regional DSM SaaS endpoint; the boundary is the account state, not
    the credential format.'

    that issues live requests against a DSM endpoint the caller supplies. It requires
    real credentials — no hosted sandbox key is published.'
