Is it a restricted download?

The download is fully functional, i.e. no product features are inhibited or omitted. However, the License Manager will time out in 60 days. You may be able to extend your evaluation by contacting Customer Support. There are reasonable restrictions on what you may use the downloaded software for. You are not allowed to sell it or any application that embeds it without purchasing an appropriate license, for instance. Please read the Terms and Conditions in the download area for full details. Internal Research and Development [IRAD] partners may have additional rights.


What is included in the download?

The download contains the Objectivity software, documentation, sample applications and tutorials.


What should I do if I run into problems or need clarification of technical features?

Contact Customer Support by email or fax, or through your customer account.


What happens if I decide to purchase Objectivity/DB? Do I have to re-install it? What happens to the applications and databases I've built?

After you purchase Objectivity products we simply send you a new license. You do not have to reinstall the software. You simply apply the new license to any federations that you want to continue using with your newly purchased software. It takes a few seconds to run the tool. That's all that has to be done. However, we'd prefer that you also purchase training and appropriate Professional Service Packages, as we know that they can dramatically affect the quality, performance, reliability and maintainability of your new Objectivity/DB application.
