Hi there,

I want to learn COGNOS Planning 8 my self. I have textbook from PACKT Publishers but I don't have the software to practice my self. I can not afford to take training out side. Do I get the software from any where?

The only way I know to get the software is to download from IBM's site with an appropriate account based on your companies licensing and who has been assigned rights to download.  I'm not aware of any other options...
