- Should a beta release work without a TSM?
- Is the only way to access EDG is to purchase a (very expensive) server license even though the need is for a single user?
This need is now addressed by the TopBraid EDG Studio in a way that we believe to be better than what was possible with TBC
This need could be addressed by requesting an evaluation server from TopQuadrant. It is true that this would be for a limited period e.g., a month or two. However, this approach is not unique to TQ. It is pretty much industry standard.
Beyond the beta, there is no technical reason why we could not license TopBraid EDG Studio to users who do not have EDG. We have not made this option available at the time of 7.1 beta because we are still considering what would work best for our user community and for TQ. We also are looking at other alternatives that may be better aligned with our move towards SaaS e.g., offering a hosted “Community Edition” of EDG that would have more limited features.In the meantime, we appreciate users input on what they would prefer and why.
If #2 is true, that's an interesting but not unexpected business decision as I had sensed some bristling over the last couple of years at the notion of people using TBC-EDG as a personal EDG instance vs strictly for EDG server development.
