Sybase Developer Edition

[Database Administrator]

Hi,

The company I currently work for still uses ASE 12.5.1. Is it still
possible to download the developer edition for Linux for that version.
I couldn't find it anymore on the Sybase website. Sure 15.x is
available, however, I don't want to run into incompatibility issues.
Is there an archive of the old stuff? And is it still legal to use the
old developer versions???? (cannot see why it wouldn't be).. Of course
I would love to see my company upgrade to 15.x ;-)

Cheers,

Hans.

I don't think so. There is a dev edition for 12.5.4
available from eshop.sybase.com, but it isn't free (I think
it is somewhere in the area of USD 200, though don't quote
me on the amount :-)

As Michael says, Sybase doesn't provide it but if you look around on
Google, you should be able to find the developer edition. Whether it is
legal or not to download a developer (free) copy of ASE 12.5 depends on
where you live. It's against the developer license for certain though.

The right way is to download 12.5.4 from http://sybase.subscribenet.com
and choose developer edition when you run the setup.
