On page [http://www.ansible.com/tower-trial](http://www.ansible.com/tower-trial) and section “LAUNCH TOWER IN VAGRANT” you can read “That last command will give you your admin password and the Tower log-in URL. Upon login, you will be provided with directions on how to obtain a trial license.”

So I did everything as shown:

ansible@coconut:~/tower$ vagrant init tower [http://vms.ansible.com/ansible-tower-2.3.1-virtualbox.box](http://vms.ansible.com/ansible-tower-2.3.1-virtualbox.box)  
A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now  
ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read  
the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on  
`vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant.
