Hi all, 

while trying to install the IBM watsonx Orchestrate ADK following the instructions (https://developer.watson-orchestrate.ibm.com/) I had to stop here:

  1. Purchase the watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition license from a salesperson.

and I couldn't find any possibility to buy (or possibly at least know the price).

At the moment I have access to a wxo POC enviromnent, but it seems to me that anyway I cannot get the entitlement key needed to set up the ADK.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Maurizio

Maurizio,

The requirement that you reference is no longer in place because the ADK and Developer Edition are both in General Availability now.  Take a look at the updated instructions in the ADK documentation for doing the install here. It has been updated and is really nice and easy to follow now. 

Some things to note:

  1. You will need access to a wxO environment either on AWS or IBM Cloud (see options for wxO environment access here).
  2. Updated your ADK (i.e. pip install --upgrade ibm-watsonx-orchestrate or pip install --upgrade ibm-watsonx-orchestrate==1.8.1 for more control) 
  3. Ensure you local laptop has the proper container engine prerequisites. IBM'ers should use Rancher Desktop. Other options include Docker Desktop, Podman, and more.
