For Plesk 12.5 or earlier:

To get a trial license for Plesk 12.5 or earlier, contact Licensing and Purchase support.

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).

  • Dear ladies and gentlemen,

    for our developers we wanted to try plesk on an internal server which is not publicly accessible and only for testing development of webpages internal.

    Due to some vacations of our developers 15 days is really too short to get an overview and try some things with it.

    Is it possible to get a 4-6 week test license key ?

    Kind regards
