FYI, one can still use an unlicensed AR System server to do evaluation just as it has always been. That has not been changed. The standard unlicensed server limitations are still in place - 2000 records, 3 fixed users, etc. - but there's no time limit.
Trial licenses remove those unlicensed limitations, which is why they are timed. However, it's pretty easy to extend the trial license through the Support Central Web Site. The requests are automated, so the system just sends you an E-mail with the key: Request a Trial/Temporary License<http://www.bmc.com/support/reg/license-agreement-trial.html> -David J.

This is about technology. There are a lot of vendors that have been around for many years that still offer a method for developers to leverage free licensing and develop their product (with minor restrictions). Not having a demo license past 60 (or whatever the time limit) is annoying. I am going to enjoy this new freedom with Service Now while it last. And so will my clients. Who knows... it may last for a very long time . In a message dated 4/19/2010 2:48:37 P.M.

Remedy sales however is quite flexible in granting renewals on TRIAL licenses beyond the 60 days. The limitation is more to protect their interests than to restrict you as a customer. Service now is fairly new in the market which is why they are fairly liberal at the moment on their demo and trial licenses. I'm pretty sure they will draw up those kind of limitations if they catch up with their competitors that are currently ahead of them. So I guess enjoy that while it lasts.. Remedy used to have a 90 day trial license.. That used to be more than enough for most sales purposes.. I didn't know they reduced it down to 60.. When did that happen?

With Remedy I can't get the free demo license anymore, and I personally am not happy with Remedy's support. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
