Question 13

When I click “Launch App” to access my Google AI Pro trial code, a new window opens with a URL containing "Saritasa." Is this site legitimate and safe?

Yes, it is completely safe. Saritasa is an authorized technical partner working with Google to securely generate and distribute your unique Google AI Pro trial codes.

While the initial window is hosted by Saritasa to manage the code distribution, the actual redemption process—where you enter your information and activate your trial—takes place entirely within the one.google.com domain. Your sensitive account information is handled directly by Google’s secure infrastructure, and Saritasa does not have access to your Google Account credentials.

This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
