Developer / Trial license for MAS

Only customers or major IBM partners have access to MAS licenses, restricting the ability of smaller consultancies or individuals who want to have access to MAS.


IBM should provide a developer or trial license for MAS. Having a 2-month expiry date similar to the Openshift Developer license would be perfect. This will allow:

  • New users to learn MAS

  • Experienced consultant to practice installing/upgrading MAS without having to engage and present IBM with an existing sale opportunity. (Without experience upgrading MAS, there is no opportunity to talk about)

  • Third-party developers can build add-on solutions and integration with MAS

  • Partners working on a project can pre-install MAS while waiting for the license procurement/provision. When the license is delivered, they can replace the developer license with it to promote the installed environment to become a fully functional system.

Without access to MAS, the majority of the Maximo implementers out there at the moment do not have access to refresh their skills. This limits their ability to promote and bring the product to the market.

    Prior familiarisation is key for a successful deployment and this should allow developers to be fully comfortable with the technology so a smooth Go-Live is achievable.

    Great idea Viet. This would really help drive the competency of my teams at Aboitiz as well. We have an AppPoints license but ofcourse IT is hesitant to hand out license files to play around with OpenShift and MAS deployments which are not directly required for deployments.
