<p>Having recently upgraded a dev instance of CraftCMS 2.6 to 3.5, I'm trying to add the plugins via the store.  I can find all the plug-ins I want to add, however there's no option on the page to add / try the plug-in.  I figure I've probably missed something basic.</p>
<p>Anyone got an idea of what I should be looking for here?</p>

Having recently upgraded a dev instance of CraftCMS 2.6 to 3.5, I'm trying to add the plugins via the store. I can find all the plug-ins I want to add, however there's no option on the page to add / try the plug-in. I figure I've probably missed something basic.

Anyone got an idea of what I should be looking for here?

If you look in your `config/general.php`, you will probably find that you have `'allowUpdates' => false` set for the environment you are trying to trial the plugin on (stage/prod?).

Change that to `'allowUpdates' => true` and you will be able to install what you want.
