Why do IBM and HCL keep hiding the CSDK download? It used to be less of a big deal because it was bundled with the engine. Now it no longer is, and the only stuff available on Passport Advantage is 4.10 and older or the Windows versions of 4.50. When I try to download via the iiug.org link, it gets about two click in before webroot declares that I'm being redirected to a phishing site.

I should just be able to get it through PA like everything else, or via FixCentral if that fails.

It's billed as a "trial" but there's no expiration to it and the CSDK is free anyway. Just scroll down to the "Client Software Development Kit" box and click on the "Try free edition" link there.

Tom,

less than 20 questions ( just 3 or 4 ) like this

So you won't spend 3 hours replying to them, in addition to the 3 hours you (i.e we)  have to spend searching for a URL that does not lead to a deadlink ...

Those URL had been provided by Milind a few years ago and they kept working fine since then (including now)

I am not able to download the Linux Version of CSDK. Only windows version is available under my PA account. I opened the ticket with support, i got response that we are only entitled to download windows version. If we need Linux version, we have to buy it separately. They refereed me to the sales rep and he has the same story.

Did any of you have the same issue, were you able to resolve it?

Ignore your PA account for CSDK, it is free so you can just download it by clicking on the "Try the Developer Edition" button on the IBM Informix main page (www.informix.com) main page, logging in, and following the prompts. Then just enter "SDK" in the search box and you will see all of the most recent releases of the Informix CSDK.

Give me ONE PLACE I can go to download ALL of the products to which I am entitled. 

There is - passport advantage.

Client SDK is seperate since it is free without support.

Hi Tom,

I understand the CSDK license terms, that you can use it for free if you entitled for one of the Informix server partnum. If you don't have an Informix Server, you have to pay for.
Yes, it is unbelievable that IBM is not able to provide all ports for the CSDK with the server downloads in one place. Art wrote the only one place for the Linux port. 

Best Regards

Hi Tom,

Followed iiug.org link to Informix CSDK Downloads and it worked flawlessly.

Please review your antivirus/router as it can be blocking access to IBM informix download pages.
