What to expect during your trial

You’ll have 15 days to try the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform free. Complete these three steps to get your trial started the right way.

  • Get access

    Allow up to 24 hours for your request to be processed. Then, you will receive an email from falcon@crowdstrike.com to activate your account. Log in and choose between a simplified Main View or a technical view of the Falcon platform. Main View provides a simplified onboarding experience and interface, perfect for non-technical users. A more in-depth, technical view can be accessed anywhere on the left-hand menu outside of Main View.

  • Install the Falcon sensor

    The intuitive Main View interface simplifies the sensor installation process, so you can quickly and easily protect your devices. There’s no need to reinstall the sensor as long as your account is active. After the sensor installation is complete, Main View displays a badge so you can easily verify that you’re protected.

  • Test additional modules

    Your trial begins with the Falcon Prevent and Falcon Device Control modules enabled, with the ability to test additional modules through the CrowdStrike® Store at no cost.

Test the Falcon platform against advanced attacks

The CrowdStrike Falcon trial includes access to a virtual malware lab allowing you to safely test malware samples and advanced attack techniques. See how Falcon Prevent, our next-generation anti-virus solution, protects your environment from attacks.
