WELCOME

Thank you for your interest in evaluating Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. (EMBT) products. This guide helps you get up and running with your trial software. For additional information see the Readme and Quick Start guides at docs.embarcadero.com; you will also find more detailed information about our products in the user, administrator, and reference guides.

Free Embarcadero product trials have always been available to users via our product and trial website pages (example: http://www.embarcadero.com/downloads). These trials are delivered as user-installable software with short-term trial licenses.

This document describes a new and alternative product trial experience removing the need for you to download, install, and activate in the traditional sense. Where available, you can now benefit from a more “instant trial” experience based on application streaming from a cloud-based AppWave Public Store (windowsapps.com).  You access it by using the AppWave Browser that installed to your desktop when you first accessed the trial. To return to your trial, open the AppWave Browser and go to the folder Managed Apps and select the trial app. You can also manually create a desktop shortcut (right-click the icon, select Create shortcut on Desktop), for a faster launch outside AppWave Browser.
