It was $199 a year, if I remember correctly.
I'm still waiting to hear back from IBM after I asked their sales team to check on the status of it coming back. Maybe Louis Carlos Silva knows the answer?

I bet many were happy when IBM announced ZD&T Learners Edition a few years ago, and I was definitely one of them.
Here in the community I found a post from Mark Regan, in which he got his ZD&T running back in June 2022, and other threads from people facing issues to renew their license, so it tells me at least a few people got the taste of the Learners Edition. But then at some point it stopped being distributed.
There's still this page about how to qualify for it: IBM ZD&T for Learners Edition
However if you follow the steps you should reach the https://www.ibm.com/products/z-development-test-environment/pricing page where Learners Edition is not mentioned, except for this statement:
"What happened to ZD&T for Learner's Edition?
Learner's Edition is currently being updated and will return soon."
ZD&T docs mention Learner's Edition up to v13.3.x and then it is removed from the latest v14.0.x documentation.
So, is ZD&T for Learners Edition ever coming back? Maybe with a different name or model.
