The issues are not related to free trial, refer to the first faq of https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial-faq/.

For the limits of Azure Subscription, please refer to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/azure-subscription-service-limits/.

Seems that you can’t use management certificate to manage Azure Services successfully after uploaded management certificate in the settings of Azure Portal.

There is the partial sample code in Java for authenticating Azure Service Management.

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;

import com.microsoft.windowsazure.Configuration;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.core.utils.KeyStoreType;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.management.configuration.ManagementConfiguration;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.management.compute.ComputeManagementService;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.management.compute.ComputeManagementClient;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.management.network.NetworkManagementService;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.management.network.NetworkManagementClient;

String uri = "https://management.core.windows.net/";
        String subscriptionId = "";
        String keyStoreLocation = "";
        String keyStorePassword = "";

        Configuration config = ManagementConfiguration.configure(
                new URI(uri),
                subscriptionId,
                keyStoreLocation, // the file path to the JKS
                keyStorePassword, // the password for the JKS
                KeyStoreType.jks // flags that I'm using a JKS keystore
              );

// For Compute Management
ComputeManagementClient computeManagementClient = ComputeManagementService.create(config);

//For Networing Management
NetworkManagementClient client = NetworkManagementService.create(config);

// Others like above

The code dependents on some maven repositories below in the pom.xml what you need to add in your project.

    com.microsoft.azure
    azure-svc-mgmt
    0.8.3


    com.microsoft.azure
    azure-svc-mgmt-compute
    0.8.3


    com.microsoft.azure
    azure-svc-mgmt-network
    0.8.3

For the error of Azure CLI, I think you missed some necessary steps as below.

Firstly, using command login and Azure username & password to connect your Azure subscription.

$ azure login -u 

Secondly, switching the Azure Service Management Mode for export certificate.

$ azure config mode asm

Lastly, downloading certiticate.

$ azure account cert export

Then, you can find the cert file called .pem at the current path.

For details, you can refer to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/xplat-cli-connect/.
