Please answer these questions.
Does the discovery work?
Is the target set up correctly, and does it allow communication over NVMe-oF?
Is MTU set up correctly?
Does your target and initiator have the latest drivers and firmware installed?
Please make also sure to type the command right.
Do you use a free or trial key?

We are working on improving it. I am also waiting for it to be released the same way as you do.
The ETA I provided was provided to me by the product management and it changes as we are trying to make the product better and more stable. The ETA I have now is the beginning/middle of summer.
Please keep an eye on the release notes.
