Preparing for your online trial

The online trial experience allows you to try software products without having to install them on your own system. This is product-level code, with all features and options enabled.

Step 1: Review the online trial prerequisites
Step 2: Review these helpful evaluation resources


Online trial prerequisites

Client software
The online trial program uses the Citrix XenApp Presentation Server (formerly known as the MetaFrame Presentation Server) to provide you a connection from your workstation to the remote server running the IBM product you are evaluating. You will need to download the latest XenApp Web plugin appropriate for your operating system.

If you are installing Citrix for the first time, you will see a popup window that asks for the address of the server hosting your published application. Leave the Server Address field blank and click Next.

If you do not have the Citrix Web plugin installed when you attempt to access the online trial, you will be prompted to install it.

If you're having trouble installing the plugin, see the Citrix installation instructions.

Supported browsers
Microsoft Internet Explorer V6 or later and Mozilla Firefox V1.5 or later are supported.

Connection speed
We recommend that you use a high-speed connection while evaluating software online. Because the session you will be using is running remotely over the Internet with unpredictable delays and latencies, you should not use your experience with the session as a guide to the performance of the tools when installed in a local environment.

Connectivity FAQs

Evaluation resources
