1. Try the download again later today or tomorrow.
2. If the issue continues, you should be able to report the problem to the MRS team (Marketing Server) that hosts the file to confirm the issue.
3. If you continue to experience problems, update your forum thread you started on this topic and add an update.
The file download worked for me, but it was slower today than I've seen in the past, but try again and let us know if you get a specific error or the issue continues or open an issue with the MRS team via the website link you showed in your other thread.

@Sefein Saeed I tried the software link today and I was able to download the software. There might have been a temporary outage. If you continue to experience issues, you can try again or see if they system sends you an email. All software downloads are region checked against US Export laws, so some geographic regions are blocked.
I would try again, as the download was successful for me. If you continue to experience issues after 24 hours, update this forum post or at (@) me and I can take a look. Optionally, you can email me jonathan.pechta1@ibm.com and we can discuss over email.

Yeah, I just got off of a call with development this morning. They fixed the issue over the weekend and resolved the download error.

This issue appears to be intermittent as I mentioned in another thread. I talked to the server team again this morning as my account was still experiencing issues. As I get more info or confirmation of a fix, I will post an update. I'm hope this is resolved, today, but I still see the issue on my test account.
Stay tuned for more info.

Typically, when users go to download QRadar CE, if they pass an export restriction check, then they are taken to the download page. I'm not sure if there is an issue with the export restriction controls, but I'm asking around.
It is not expected that users are directed to their My IBM Dashboard, as they should get a download link or an error that states that someone might need to follow up as your region needs to be checked.
I'm trying to find more info. If you get a follow-up email or the issue persists, let me know.

Hello Wendy,
I still get asked to sign in and then redirected to my account dashboard. Once there, no links to get the software? I'm still stuck?
Regards,
Ben

Hi,
I would like to try the CE version of QRadar but when I click the download link "https://developer.ibm.com/qradar/ce/ "
It goes as though it is going to download something and then just takes me to My IBM dashboard space.If I search for the product it just does the same, an eternal loop.
Can some one provide me a straight forward link where I can download it please.
