# Getting Started

**Applies to:** Customer's Canvas On-Premises; Design Editor 4.4.25, 4.x (may differ) · **Archived documentation**
 
Customer's Canvas is available in two versions: on-premises and hosted. You deploy the on-premises version on your Windows server and get full control over its resources and configuration. The hosted version is deployed on our servers and it does not require any Windows server experience. These versions have the same features and provide the same capabilities to integrate into web-to-print sites. You can request a trial version of Customer's Canvas.
 
This section describes the evaluation process of this web-to-print solution and how you can register your licensing keys. Also, you can find out how to compile the source code and deploy the application to your server. If you prefer to use the hosted version, you can refer to its description.
 
In addition, this section describes advanced Windows server configuration.
