How can I evaluate ES?

Greg McGuffey — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 13:00:52 GMT

I'm thinking that ES will solve a bunch of problems I'm facing. Many of them are related to the use of a VPN to access the database over all sorts of interesting (read slow and unreliable) connections.

However, before I recommend this to the execs, I need to actually test it. I need to install it and access it remotely and compare the access times to those of using the VPN.

I know the SDK is included with SF, but I'm not clear how to test it.

- Can I do initial testing all locally as it stands now (i.e. single user testing locally, just to see if the code works)
- Do you have a special trial license available?

Thanks!

The support is second to none, even to "Eval Users".

I just bought the complete kit and what convinced me the most, was how strong the support is. These guys know .Net :)

Hope you can join too!

Hi Trent,

Nothing to add - just wanted to thank you again for all the info about StrataFrame this morning.

I will be installing ES eval later in the week,

Yes. This is why we include the Developer SDK for free. It has 2 CALs (Client Access Licenses) and can be activated through the My Account area of the website. You will only want to activate once you know your host name (localhost, data.myserver.com, etc.) and know the MAC address of the machine on which it will be loaded.

This is why we provide the Developer SDK. You can use this SDK with a purchased or trial version of StrataFrame.
