MarkLogic 5 Academic License is now available

In an effort to increase participation in the MarkLogic Community, MarkLogic Community announce a new Academic License  for students and educators on March 27.  The goal of the Academic License is to engage the academic community, educate them about MarkLogic, and ultimately enable a new wave of MarkLogic developers.  We are excited to bring our enterprise grade technology to academia with features that will enable academics to realize the ease of use, flexibility, and power of MarkLogic.  This will enable students to gain real experience using MarkLogic for Big Data problems and take that experience into the marketplace through research, projects, or paid employment.

The Academic License, available for MarkLogic 5, is free to faculty members or students who join the MarkLogic community.  The Academic License provides features available within the Express license, such as geospatial, alerting, and conversion, as well as features otherwise available only in Enterprise Edition, like clustering and replication.  It has a 2-year time limit and cannot be used for commercial or government projects.  After MarkLogic 5 is downloaded, installed, and running, a user can browse to the admin interface and request an Academic license directly from within the interface.  

Free MarkLogic Academic and Express Licenses are subject to the terms and conditions of the online software academic and express license agreements that accompany each download.  Please contact the Community Team with any questions.

Kind Regards,
Vishnu Singh
