# Trialling Lansweeper

Lansweeper offers two trial options: Lansweeper Sites and Lansweeper Classic. This article explains what each trial includes and what to do when your trial ends.

## Trial overview

### Lansweeper Sites

The Lansweeper Sites trial is also known as the Cloud-first trial. Choose this option to explore Lansweeper's web-based capabilities.

In a Cloud-first scenario, your Lansweeper license is managed from the cloud. A license key isn't required — your subscription is managed entirely from your Lansweeper Site.

To get started, see [Install the Lansweeper Cloud-first trial](/docs/start-your-free-lansweeper-trial).

### Lansweeper Classic

Choose Lansweeper Classic if you want an on-premise solution.

In an on-premise scenario, you need to apply a license key in the local web console after installing Lansweeper Classic. To request a trial key, go to [Start your Lansweeper Classic trial](https://www.lansweeper.com/lansweeper-on-premise-trial/).

To get started, see [Install Lansweeper Classic](/classic/docs/install-lansweeper-on-prem).

## After the trial

When your trial ends, you can purchase a license or switch to a different installation type.

### Stay with your current Lansweeper type

If your current Lansweeper type meets your needs, choose a plan on the [Pricing & Plans](https://www.lansweeper.com/pricing/) page.

For more information, see [Request a Lansweeper price quote](/classic/docs/request-a-lansweeper-price-quote).

### Switch to a different Lansweeper type

If you want to try the other installation type:

- If you trialled Lansweeper Sites and want to move to Lansweeper Classic, request a key via the [Lansweeper Classic trial form](https://www.lansweeper.com/lansweeper-on-premise-trial/).
- If you trialled Lansweeper Classic and want to move to Lansweeper Sites, go to [app.lansweeper.com/try](http://app.lansweeper.com/try) to start your Cloud-first trial.
