We have several products that are basically ip restricted to our domain.
But, upon request, every one of those gave us a login and password to use
to login our authenticated users.  It is in their best interest to do so.
And they know we have no interest in distributing it.  I'd be amazed if
others won't do the same thing, though you'll have to ask, and sometimes
ask at a higher level than the person who'll say "no, we don't do that".
