| Free product | Unlike downloadable trials that are time-limited (usually 30 to 60 days), free products can be downloaded, installed, and run without restriction. However, when these products are accessed in a cloud environment, usage charges may apply. |
| Download | Download the product and install it to run
locally, for a time-limited period, usually 60
days. Downloadable trials are free; they
require only a simple registration. |
| Online: | Online trials run on an IBM server. After installing
a Citrix client (fairly painless), access the product
for a period of 3 or 4 hours. Online trials are free;
they require only a simple registration. |
| Sandbox: | Similar to an online trial, a sandbox lets you try
several products, configured to run together, in a
virtual, hosted environment, accessed through a Citrix
client. Try scripted exercises or explore on your own
for a period of 3 or 4 hours. Sandboxes are free;
they require only a simple registration. This handy cross-reference will help you see which products you can sample in an individual sandbox. |
| Cloud: | Access a growing number of IBM products in the Amazon
Elastic Compute Cloud, a virtual environment where you
can try out product-level code. For products with
production-use licenses, this environment lets you develop in a virtual, cloud computing environment, where computing capacity, bandwidth, storage, security and reliability aren't issues. This simple cloud cross-reference shows the development and production-use machine images available on Amazon. |
| Beta: | Early adopters can check out our beta versions,
available at no charge. |
