Identity Provider Option Missing

Hi folks,
I am looking at the possibility of using Sales force as an external IDP for one of our clients.  The problem is that while I am trying to mock out an example service I cannot set up my trial salesforce account to use IDP.  

In the document here: https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=identity_provider_enable.htm&language=en_US (https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=identity_provider_enable.htm&language=en_US) it states that you can just click on a menu link (Security Controls -> Identity Provider)  to enable SalesForce as an identity provider.  I have created a domain as one other document says but the problem is that I don't have that link:

I only have the trial account at this time as I'm evaluating the process etc. but do I need to have fully paid access to see this functionality, even for a trail?
Thanks for any replies to this strange problem.

Hey Brodie - sorry about the delay.    It looks like you're using a Professional Edition trial.   The Identity Provider feature is only available in EE and above.     Sorry about that!

Interesting.   Not clear why you're missing the link, but we'll get you fixed up.   What's your OrgID?   ( you can find it under Company Infomation in Setup )

Hi @chuckmortimore,
I was wondering if you had any luck with my account?
I'm running out of time and might have to leave the Salesforce IDP out of the presentation.  If it is something fixable soon please let me know.
Thanks,
Brodie
