Developer edition download licence needs changing

Hi,
Firstly thanks for making the developer / trial versions available. It is a great benefit to the ecosystem that new developers can test and improve their skill and even share that code with things like Codexchange.
Now here is the rub and people like SAP Legal, Mark F, Mark Y and Rui might be interested in this bit:
The 'developer version' available is mentioned on http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/nw-downloads
That page say on the 32 and 64 bit editions:
The Developer Edition allows individuals free of charge to test, evaluate, prototype and share add-on software code on code exchange
So we click through to
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/downloads?rid=/library/uuid/3042391e-f06c-2e10-e2a8-8d2e2a4e711e
and then to
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/index?rid=/webcontent/uuid/60ae136b-e66c-2e10-739f-bb82fa40292a
to actually download and the sub header says:
SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.02 SP6 64-bit Developer Version
but the legal licence what we are obliged to agree to says:
Provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of this Evaluation License, SAP grants to you the following rights under this Evaluation License a non-exclusive, non-perpetual license to use the Software Product solely for purposes of testing and evaluation of the Software Product for the limited period specified below.
In fact the licence is identical to the licence used for the trial edition.
Nothing about a DEVELOPER version, nothing about CODE EXCHANGE and limited to 90 days.
If I was promised a developer version that I could use with code exchange I would expect this to be spelled out by the licence. I would also expect that the Developer version would NOT have to keep re-licencing every 90 days.
Could you please look into this and let us know your findings. <<Gamification text removed>>
Thanks,
Nigel
PS Despite downloadable editions of NW Software being a total GAME-CHANGER no kittens were harmed in the preparation of this thread.

No I rarely check the Oracle site. I generally exist in the application layer.
BTW... you quoted my last line which was intended to inject some levity in the situation but my whole point is about the licence that we must agree to to download this software. It promises 'Developer Edition' but does not deliver.

  • Coldfusion 10 developer edition, download link required !!!

    Hi,
    I need to install Coldfusion 10 developer edition for my project, please share the download link.

    Is this correct? CF10 download is accessible from  Adobe Licensing Website (LWS). LWS is currently not responding (“Data Retrieval Error!” database unavailable?).

    As per Rakshith's statement, "the installers will continue to be available on the Adobe licensing website". Which means, that the installer will be available at Adobe Volume Licensing website, provided you own them within your account. They wouldn't be available at Adobe website or cfinstal mailbox.

  • Which SQL server edition do I need? Developer or Standard?

    I currently work for a large firm using SQL Server 2012 with Management Studio - I use this to connect to our database and run querys against. I also use Visual Studio 2013 to create .rdlc report files.
    I need to replicate what I'm doing for the large firm, but on a much smaller scale. All I need to be able to do is restore a database to a SQL Server that is anywhere between 10-20GB in size, use SQL Management Studio to run queries against that restored
    database, and create the same type of reports I am creating using Visual Studio 2013 (.rdlc files).
    I think because the database to restore is larger than 10GB I can't get away with the express edition. Can I just use the Developer edition? Or do I need the standard edition?
    thanks in advance.

    Development edition licenses can be used to install anything that isn't production, provided that everyone that connects to the server has their
    own development license. MSDN licenses can be used as well if everyone has an MSDN license.

    If you are going to do some test you are ok with developer edition otherwise you need to go for standard edition.

  • Lost Developer Edition theme color when I ran sync and restarted, how to get it back?

    I started using Firefox Developer Edition and I turned on sync so I can sync with current version of Firefox I have been using until now. The sync worked fine but when I restarted Firefox, the developer edition came up with the look of the non developer edition version of Firefox. I went in the customize setting and turned on "Use Firefox Developer Edition Theme" and it changed everything but the color. Instead of being the default black that it was originally installed with, now uses the default greyish tan color that is the default of the non developer version. How do I get look of the Firefox Developer Edition back to it's default look?

    There are also a few choices for lightweight theme (Persona) via the Themes button in the Customize palette window.

  • Licence needed for Developer Studio ?

    Hi all,
    is a licence needed for installing SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio ?
    Thanks in advance.

    You donot need a license for developer studio.
    It is based on Eclipse which you can download and install without license anyway.
    You will need a (developers) license for the developers workplace however. This is the version where you also run your local Netweaver J2EE. If you donot have a license, after 30 days or so the J2EE wil stop (approx. 30 minutes after startup) with an error message like: no valid license.
    The license for the Developers Workplace can be requested like any other license. Your basis team will know the details.
    Jurjen.

  • SAP Developer Edition?  Need development environment w/o buying SAP!

    Hi there,
    We're looking to work with a client who is running an SAP based system, and in advance of our next meeting in a month we have pledged to research the SAP platforms and how to interact with them.
    The client will be upgrading to SAP 6 in a couple of months so, due to both this and the fact that we have not been selected yet as the final candidate, interacting with their system is not an option.
    I have browsed SDN to see if there was a Developer Edition of the platform that we could use to test with, but couldn't find anything. Could anybody point me in the right direction for either a 'trial version' (though I know this is unlikely!) or even an open test system that we could connect to via VPN to test against... or any other ideas!
    Thanks in advance,
    Tom Groves

    Thanks Mahesh... I think my brain may not have been working properly yesterday!
    I was wondering, as I am not familiar with SAP (yet!), if you could just help me determine which sneak preview I need to download from: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/77317c8d-0701-0010-f093-ed35a427f559
    The client as far as I am aware is running version 4, but is shortly to upload to version 6 or something - this is to provide them with unicode support as they need to store Arabic and other languages.
    If I want to simply query the data stored in SAP and utilize various business methods from .NET will the "SAP NetWeaver J2EE Preview" suffice - this contains SAP NetWeaver Application Server and Developer Studio.
    Or do I need the Portal and hence have to download the Full Java Edition-Trial (or Full Java Edition2004s-Trial?!) as these contain the "SAP NetWeaver Portal with PDK."
    If we can get away with only downloading the SAP NetWeaver J2EE Preview then that's better as a) we're based in Dubai Media City and traffic costs are prohibitive here and b) it would be nice to have the files downloaded today instead of having to download >5GB!
    Sorry to act like a complete newbie on this, only heard of SAP yesterday, just want to get a platform up and running to test certain theories!
    Thanks for all your help,
    Tom

  • Do I need to install crystal reports developer edition?

    Hi,
       I tried to open a CR 8.5 reports in vs 2005 and it opened up fine. But when I try to preview the report it comes up with the error
    Failed to load Database information
    Details:The Database DLL 'crdb_fielddef.dll' could not be found.
    We have used Active Data drivers and Field definitions using ttx files in 8.5. We used the 8.5 developer edition. Will I be able to use the crystal reports for .net with vs 2005 without installing the new version of crystal reports or Do I need to install the developer edition to overcome this? I used the 10.2 version with the VS2005.
    Thanks,
    SS

    VS 2005 does not ship with crdb_fielddef.dll, which is the lib used with ttx reports.  You won't be able to preview off of a ttx file, or create a new Crystal Report off of a ttx file, using CR.NET shipped with VS 2005.
    If you require those functionalities, CR XI Release 2 would be an possible option.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda

    This download link is related to SAP Store and I guess there is some issue with SAP Store now. (store.sap.com) .
    Anyways the link might provide access to only SDK of SMP 3.0 , but to develop mobile applications on SMP both the Runtime and SDK are to be installed and only SDK is available to public.
    If you have a valid S-User credentials you can download SMP from SAP Service Marketplace - Home
    Softwares Donloads -->  A-Z Index --> M -->SAP mobile Platform -- ? choose the version you are looking at (2.1 / 2.2 /2.3 )
    SMP 3.0 is still in Rampup only available to limited registered partners
    Which version of SMP you are looking to download?

    Are you using IE browser? I had the same problem and ended up dowloading the files using Mozilla browser. Unlike Mozilla, IE does not support TLS using AES encryption- only 3DES. Perhaps the download site (https://downloads.sdn.sap.com) is using a crypto library requiring TLS with AES encryption.
