Dear IBM team and community,
 
I am a faculty member at Hsiuping University of Science and Technology in Taiwan. I previously accessed IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio via the IBM Academic Initiative (Order #100631813786 in 2018, email: frank@hust.edu.tw).
 
Recently, I downloaded the latest CPLEX Studio 22.1.2 from the official website after logging in with my academic email. However, it installs the Community Edition only, which does not include the Java Concert API (`ilog.concert.jar`) that is necessary for my Java-based research projects.
 
Could you please advise how I can access the **full academic version** of CPLEX Optimization Studio for macOS, with full support for Java and C++ APIs?

Hi Fong-Fan Wang, since you're eligible through the IBM Academic Initiative, make sure you're logged in at academic.ibm.com using your verified academic email. Once inside, go to the “Downloads” section and look specifically for the Academic Edition of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio—not the Community Edition from the public site. This version should include everything you need, including ilog.concert.jar for Java.
