Title: Downloading IBM Cognos Analytics and Framework Manager 11 (Help)
Post by: HelloCognos on 08 Mar 2018 11:01:38 AM
Hi guys,
Is there anyway possible to download IBM Cognos Analytics without paying whole bunch of money? I only need it for a month.

That would be for Microsoft Windows 10.

Please let me know.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

There is a free trial of Cognos Analytics in the cloud - just sign up for an IBM ID and you can log in and use it for free. It doesn't include Framework Manager though.

To answer your original question, no. IBM don't give away Cognos Analytics installs for free. If you have an IBM Account Manager you could try asking them if they can give you some temporary trial licenses, but I suspect you would need a good business case to justify it, and they would likely want a sale at the end of the trial...

Cheers!

MF.

It is still running with the below message,
Please wait while we create your IBMid and set up the service subscription.
I guess, it'll take a long time. I'm curious if anybody else has had this issue?
Thanks
