You shouldn't be able to use the trial for 2022, should be the 2023 version.

Did you click everything when you were installing it for options?

Hello,
yes, I have installed the Fabrication CAD MEP 2023 trial version and also check everything while installing.
There is a library and but it has very limited pipe fittings. I was expecting to see all the fittings for steel and copper but vey limited. Is there any library content that I can download to get the fittings?
Thanks.

Autodesk doesn't really provide any content anymore.

They used to provide a decent "starter" database with some real world items.

Autodesk is dropping Fabrication development and only doing bug fixes in their new releases. One of the casualties is content. There are third-party content providers out there, of which I would recommend Virtual Building Supply (https://itembuilders.com/) who's proprietor is Scott Hendrix, a long-time Fabrication expert. They provide very solid content that is Revit-compatible.
