[Demo] Differences between IDES, Sneak Preview, ES Discovery Systems

Hi,

It has become quite complicated to navigate between all the demo systems

<i>As shown in this post, for instance

https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=835708&messageID=2043010</i>;

<i>Have also a look at this thread:

There is major problems I think, knowing:

- <b>what exactly are the functionalities</b> (and consequently, what audience is targeted) provided by Sneak Preview (SDN), IDES systems (through Software Catalog), ES Discovery systems (I am sure I am missing some of them).

<i> For instance, IDES offer functional modules and Sneak preview doesn't</i>

- <b>what level of partnership is needed</b> (none [for instance for products available in the SDN Download section] to get those sustems, SAP Partner for IDES, SAP Global Partner for Software Catalog)

- <b>what is the trial period</b> (if any) : is it possible to renew the license, if yes for how long...

If I have made mistakes, feel free to correct me, that's the whole point of this post.

I think a blog or a Wiki could help hundreds of people !

Best regards,

Guillaume

Hello Guillaume,

IDES contains a complete ERP with data of a fake company (IDES), as otherwise you had to spend weeks to implement this to do any useful things in an ERP.

All SDN downloads only need SDN membership, which is available to anybody signing up.

> for IDES, SAP Global Partner for Software Catalog)

IDES is only available to customers and partners and this depends on the country you live in. There is no IDES download on SDN.

> - <b>what is the trial period</b> (if any) :

All trial periods are 90 days for legal reason. I know we did different in the past, but had to change this.

>is it

Because of the legal reason trial licenses are not intended to be renewed. Nevertheless, as we usually provide new downloads every 6 month or so question is when such rights end, as new downloads renew the evaluation period. Well, the intention is to inform you guys about our software and that is what you essentially do with it (for the most part).

I'll see if I can do something like that... but not before easter.
