Hey Mark,

I expect that there are multiple ways to get here, but this worked for me:

Go here: https://www.ibm.com/products/informix 

Click on "Try the Developer Edition"

You'll need to fill in the Business Contact Information and press Submit (note this didn't display in Edge for me, but showed up okay in Chrome)

Login with your credentials (you likely already have these to post here)

Then you should be able to browse for it

Just sidling up to this convo to mention that you should be able to get a recent 15.0.1 developer edition using this same mechanism. 15.0.0.2 is so 2025.

John:

The latest Developer Edition available on the IBM site is 15.0.0.1. The latest Evaluation Edition on the HCL site is 15.0.1.4.

Indeed the latest Informix available anywhere that I can find is the Production Enterprise Edition on the HCL site for licensed users is 15.0.1.8!

It looks like 15.0.2.0 has not passed QA far enough to be posted yet.

Thanks John - pleasure to see you jumping in. 

I talked with a contact at HCL and she said they only sell/post the full version(s), so not the Developer Edition. Odd eh? We are again (as always) faced with "where do I download stuff?" ... I remember this being awful for clients back in the 90's. 

The DE I downloaded for Linux ... does it require an installer file? Naw - haven't untar'd it yet. Recall that when I tried to download the installer file I got a 404/page not found. I thought 14 changed the install method to require the product tar AND an installer file? Can someone set me straight? 

Thanks!

Hi,

I tried to download ibm.editionInstaller.tl.15.0.1.0  and got "No applicable IBM support agreement found for one or more of the products you selected.".

The whole point of the Time Limited ones is that I do not need a support agreement!

Hi Hedwig,

Maybe your account has more permissions than mine?

With my account, without any filter, I can only see 14.10.* and 15.0.0.* IDS versions (no 15.0.1.*)

https://www.ibm.com/resources/mrs/assets/packageList?source=ifxids&lang=en_US

See screenshot, with descending sorting on "Offering" column:

Next pages show 15.0.0.2, but no 15.0.1.*:

There is definitely something hinky with your privs. I see 15.0.1 without any filtering as well:

It is a problem, however, that the latest release that is there is 15.0.1.0 and not 15.0.1.<latest> which is 15.0.1.10! I'll reach out to IBM and see about getting that updated.

Thank you Art, lucky guy.

Is there something I should do to get more privileges?

If this is the reason, I do not understand IBM's strategy to deny access to Informix Developer Editions for ... developers like us.

And why would I have access to older versions like 14.10 and 15.0.0.x, but not 15.0.1.x ?
Is the download site app buggy?

If the goal is to try to make money with developers instead of final users, it's a wrong strategy:
FYI, people already move from Informix DB in favor to open source solutions like PostgreSQL.
Intentionally denying access (or having messy access permissions) will not help us to promote Informix DB.  

Just give access to Informix DB Developer Editions to ANYONE.
What is the risk for IBM?

I wish I would spend more time on implementing new features than struggling with download permissions.

Hi Hedwig,

Maybe your account has more permissions than mine?

With my account, without any filter, I can only see 14.10.* and 15.0.0.* IDS versions (no 15.0.1.*)

https://www.ibm.com/resources/mrs/assets/packageList?source=ifxids&lang=en_US

See screenshot, with descending sorting on "Offering" column:

Next pages show 15.0.0.2, but no 15.0.1.*:

Hmmm
do you see anything there? I even to not need to filter. The versions are on top in my list. 

Hi John,

Sorry if I a missing something, but I can't find the 15.0.1 server or csdk packages on the download site (filtering with "15.0.1"):

Hi

but product download is working?
A DE license installer is not needed. The product is DE per default. 

But unfortunately all the other license installers are also failing
We need to reach out to IBM again. 

Developer Edition installer 15.0.ALL link fails

Hedwig, that was the trick!

With another browser (chromium), now I see Developer Edition 15.0.1.0 packages!
How the hell can this be related to browser cache !?

Hi
I tried with an IBM ID which is not liked to anything. But I still can see 15.0.1.
Not sure why this should make a difference but clearing caches/different browser/incognito?

Thank you Art, lucky guy.

Is there something I should do to get more privileges?

If this is the reason, I do not understand IBM's strategy to deny access to Informix Developer Editions for ... developers like us.

And why would I have access to older versions like 14.10 and 15.0.0.x, but not 15.0.1.x ?
Is the download site app buggy?

If the goal is to try to make money with developers instead of final users, it's a wrong strategy:
FYI, people already move from Informix DB in favor to open source solutions like PostgreSQL.
Intentionally denying access (or having messy access permissions) will not help us to promote Informix DB.  

Just give access to Informix DB Developer Editions to ANYONE.
What is the risk for IBM?

I wish I would spend more time on implementing new features than struggling with download permissions.

Sebastien:

There is definitely something hinky with your privs. I see 15.0.1 without any filtering as well:

It is a problem, however, that the latest release that is there is 15.0.1.0 and not 15.0.1.<latest> which is 15.0.1.10! I'll reach out to IBM and see about getting that updated.

Gents - 

It's hard to keep up with the latest here (with 29 replies or so) to what should be a real simple request. My initial request was for the 14 or 15 Dev Edition, but has morphed into questions for the Time-Limited installer, which I'm trying to get now as well. 

I'm still getting the 404 when trying to download Informix 15.0 Time Limited edition for Linux. JC - are we any closer to getting this solved, and without issues around permisssions, etc? 

I also notice that in my VM, using Ubuntu 24, the Developer Edition install wants java 8 for it's JVM? That can't be right - current version is 26. 

Thanks for the help!
