For Cloud Platforms:
There are 2 main types of Cloud instances with Plesk (https://docs.plesk.com/cloud/):
- Instances that already include Plesk licenses. Conditions for the trial period should be checked in the description of the instance.
Warning: please do not install a trial license manually, as it is not possible to roll back to your previous license included in the instance
- Instances that do not include Plesk licenses (BYOL). For this type of instance, to get a trial period please refer to the options above.
Notes:
- Deploy the Plesk trial only on servers dedicated for this purpose. Plesk software is designed to take full control over the server it is allocated to and cannot be deleted without reformatting the server. Check software requirements for more details.
- Plesk trial licenses are fully functional. Plesk server data will remain intact after re-activating it with another Plesk license (paid one).
