Hi Thea !
The links are broken or expired? I'm having trouble downloading, is giving a "File not found." message.
Warm regards,
Raphael Pacheco.
Hi Pacheco,
thank you for your comment. Unfortunately we have had technical problems with the files in the Store. They are solved now.
I'm sorry
Thea
Thanks for your reply Thea
Warm regards,
Raphael Pacheco.
Finally, the ultimate ABAP-Playground is here!
~Florian
Great that this is finally here! But what happens after TechEd?
Hi Ethan,
7.50 is nearly out of the door. We will start working on the Developer Edition immeaditely after the release date. Then hopefuly it will not take another year to announce the download version for 7.50 but several weeks only. So that this will be the release to go. Take 7.40 as a preview for 7.40.
Kind regards
Thea
Hi Thea,
Thanks for the response. Can we ensure that 7.40 is available at least until the download for 7.50 is out?
Thanks,
Ethan
Hi Ethan,
we will look into additional delivery channels to bridge the gap until 7.5 is really available. Pls stay tuned.
Regards
Karl
but this will be available after the Tech ed is over .. right ??
Hi Ethan,
there is also a TechEd at Barcelona...
In general as soon as the 7.50 is out of the door, we are going to work on a AWS and download Developer Edition.
Kind regards
Thea
Hi Thea,
Seems like there is a working distribution right now, so it's not clear to me what is stopping the team from just leaving it up? Anything the community can do to help with this? I think SAP should always have a downloadable version available for development use.
Thanks,
Ethan
I'd be very happy to, but the download appears to have been disabled. Do we have an ETA for 7.5?
I second what Ethan Jewett said.
Hi,
I've got a link to download. The first 2 files are ZIP the rest are RAR. The first zip file is corrupted. Downloaded again and having the same issue... Is it me or other experiencing the same problem?
Thank you
Ihar
Found the solution - renamed the first 2 files to RAR. Everything is working now....
Brilliant... downloading now
Excellent, thankyou been waiting for this...
Hi;
Will be Windows version or a Windows Vmware image available in the near future?
erk.
Hi,
we do not plan to support a Windows version. We offer AS ABAP on HANA and ASE in Amazon and Microsoft Cloud and on ASE as download. We will start working on a 7.50 version now. Our focus is currently on the different deployment options and time to market with new releases. So we reduce the OS matrix to one.
Kind regards
Thea
Hi,
our near feature focus is to get a 7.50 download version out of the door based on linux.
Regards Ralf
Hi;
I wonder why SAP invest on Linux based MiniSAP systems even though majority of OS is Windows? Even in the Enterprise, Windows Servers are ubiquitous ?
Any radical reasoning behind that ?
erk
Hi,
just the reasons described above: One slim operating system to focus our work force.
Kind regards
Thea
Thea is completely right. And by means of the VMWare image you can run it easily on Windows. The image is pretty fast despite the VM overhead.
Ubiquitous? Really?
I am installing on Ubuntu 15.10 and receive the following error during the install:
syb_step_get_ase_version was executed with status ERROR ( Last error reported by the step: Assertion failed: This tool does not support the database server verion 15.7.0.000.).
Any suggestions? I have searched scn and did not find any help.
Andy
In know this is an old comment, but in case anyone finds it searching for a solution, running this command before starting the installation fixed the problem for me on Ubuntu 16.04
Hello Thea.
Is there a possibility to get a similar trial version for MS Windows?
Thanks.
Alex
Hi Alex,
see the instructions from Thea. You can run the VMWare image on any windows machine. We have currently zero bandwith to supply native installers for Windows I am sorry.
The local installer is a variant of our cloud appliance images (CAL)

I have completed all the prerequisite steps and have installed the developer edition but when started I get this via SICK:
OS release Linux 4.2.5-300.fc23.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Oct 27 04:29:56 UTC 2015 x86_64 is not supported with this kernel (742)
This is Fedora 23 completely up to date. I probably should have chosen Fedora 22 or a Centos/rhel 7 flavor but Fedora 23 is what I run as my desktop so it is convenient for me.
I'm going to try and install the latest SAP kernel if there is an update but any help would be appreciated. Perhaps install an older Linux kernel version?
Thank you, Michael

Hi Michael,
the note 0002187639 describes the released ABAP Linux combinations. If you cannot accept the dump when logging on you should go to an older LInux version.
Kind regards

I upgraded the SAP kernel and all is well.
Thank you for your help!
are there any plans to include the BEX query designer as part of the client part of the download?
Hi Dimitry,
with the NW 7.50 edition the query designer based on eclipse can be used.
This will be available via BW Modelling Tool Developer Edition Download.
Regards,
Matthias
should I take it as there is no way to create a bex query in NW 7,4 Trial Edition?
Hi Dimitry,
BEX Query Designer is part of the regular sap gui. If you have that available, you can certainly create BEX Querys with the NW 7.4 Trial Edition. I am not aware if SAP has the full SAP GUI freely available for download anywhere, but this might be something our friends from SAP could consider. Is there any reason that the full SAPGUI version could not be made available as part of or separate to the NW 7.4 Developer Edition?
Regards,
Jakob
Hi Jacob,
for legal reasons (contracts with Third Parties) we cannot provide the complete SAP GUI freely.
Kind regards
Thea
Thank you for the clarification. It surprises me that query designer is a third party product - but you guys know better. Oh well, I will try to download an edge version of BO to try at least to get the data from the cubes. It is still such a pity, that you are providing all this possibilities to learn BI-IP/BW - but no way to test it.
Not exactly - but we had eliminate all components using third party products where the contracts doesn't allow for a free distribution.
Thea, is there any news on when a new ABAP trial will be available for download?
I was only able to find the 7.02 version for download on the SAP Store.
Thanks,
Frank
Yes indeed. Please give a rough idea when to expect the new trial version. Thanks !
Hi,
the download version should be available end of Q1/16.
Kind regards
Thea
Hi,
It can take up to 2 months to wait for 7.50 release. I would appreciate if you could temporary return 7.40 until that time.
I guess I won't have as much free time to learn new features as I have now when 7.50 will be available.
BR,
Maratkuls
Same situation as you. I don't see any logic in removing a product just because another is on its way (and not, it seems, imminently). Its like a bizarre alternate universe version of the Osborne Effect.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_effect
Hi folks,
we know the situation perceived from the outside looks unsatifactory but we we are working with high pressure to get the new version out and as you all know the new year brought new budget cycles with updated guidance etc. Pls be aware that the CAL versions for 7.4 are still available.
Rgds and thank you for your understanding
Karl
Hi Karl,
So what will be done to make sure that this situation doesn't repeat after the 7.5 version release? Or should we expect availability of these systems to remain unpredictable? A little transparency would go a long way.
Regards,
Ethan
Hi Ethan,
we are working on both: a new version and a better availability.
Rgds,
Karl
This doesn't answer the question.
Sorry, but I don't see why being busy is relevant. Nobody's asking for something new, they're asking why something that was already there was capriciously removed.
As for CAL, there are practical, financial (and some might say moral) reasons for avoiding AWS.
Hi,
now we are close to end of Q1/16. If the target is still true: how would I be informed on the availability of the new download trial version (AS 7.5)?
Kind regards, Heiner
Hi Heiner
For example: here. We will link to the new solution as soon as it's available.
At this point in time we're mostly on schedule. (+/- 1, 2 weeks)
😉 Okay, more plus than minus.
Kind regards, Ralf
Any update in relation to your timeline?
End of Q1 is week 13. We are in week 21 now.
Regards.
Hi!
The Q1/2016 deadline is passed what is the status for availability of downloads. I have tried my hand on AWS+CAL combo, it works fine but it is costly for me. Just for learning purpose it is definitely costly.
By when we can positively expect the new version to be available?
Best regards
The end of Q2/2016 has passed already.
as shock, I do not accept my user who just registered
It is not yet on the front page, but I have just deployed AS ABAP Netweawer 7.50 on AWS!
JNN
Check your aws account every day, they will charge you for the instance, because it is not covered by the Amazone free tiere
I have been using a 7.4 MaxDB Version last year for a while, so no surprise here.
AWS charges around 13 USD/month for services + around 1 USD/hour for 7.5 HANA edition (only 7.5 option I found).
JNN
Hi all,
I just tried to fire-up my 7.40 SP8 but it didn't start. In the DB-log I found information on the DB-license being expired.
Any chance to renew it?
I'd be happy to move to a 7.50 NW on ASE also on CAL, if it was available. Any plans for such a solution? NW on HANA is too expensive to have it run all-day-long...
Cheers,
Oliver
Hi Oliver
7.50 SP02 on ASE is planned to be available End of Q1 (CAL & Download).
To get away with your license prob (we're talking about a CAL system, right?)
You can
Your choice?
Cheers Ralf
To avoid confusion, the ASE license of the 7.40 SP08 Download Version should be expire Q4 2016 . Thats why I asked for cal...
Ralf.
Hi Ralf,
no, I was talking about a Download system (running on CentOS).
If it was possible to replace the license on OS-level, this was preferred, as I'd not be losing my database-content, at least I hope so.
Can you instruct me how to do that?
Cheers,
Oliver
Hi Oliver
Instruction sent.
Have a look at your business email please.
Ralf
Q1 / 2016 has come and gone - do you have any updates on the release date for the NW 7.5 Donwload version?
regards
Jakob
It looks like the Q2/2016 will be gone with the same result
No point to do 7.5, they will wait for 7.99 or 8.2
Brandon,
Take a look at this:
SAP NetWeaver 7.5 - One common foundation for SAP Business Suite and SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition
Regards,
Emanuel
Hi Emanuel,
in this thread -at least in my understanding- we are talking about the "Developer Edition to Download" (formerly known as miniSAP).
Providing this special edition seems to take some time due to licensing issues. When the 7.40 offering was expired, the 7.50 offering was announced for end of 1st Quarter 2016 - so probably some folks are still waiting for the availability of that special edition.
Kind regards, Heiner
*crickets chirping*
Hello Ralf Henning
Any updates ?
Good afternoon everyone.
Does anyone have any position on the date of release of this version 7:50 to download?
He was not scheduled for the first half of 2016?
Are there any plans for an updated Developer 7.50 Edition to Download?
Or is the future the 1$/h Amazon cloud edition?
Just wondering.
Kind regards
Clemens
I experienced the same as Brandon: finally I found that the Amazon cloud edition can never replace learning with a Developer Edition to Download. So I cancelled my Amazon cloud engagement, and I will stay tuned for a download version based on 7.50 (until then I will use the 7.31 version, which still for me is a great help to keep in touch with ABAP development).
too bad. Or too simple: After installing UBUNTU as VMware virtual machine I searched fo ANY SAP Abap developer edition - currently without success.Looks like they removed it completely.
amusing: when searching I didn'read too thoroughly, clicked here or there and suddenly (as registered amazon client) initiated an EC2 Cloaud SAP HANA instance, a process that shoult take 60 minutes. No way to stop, finally was able to queue the delete instance process. Next morning received alert from amazon " N. Virginia region has entered the ALARM state, because "Threshold Crossed: 1 datapoint (115.0) was greater than the threshold (100.0)."
I created a case with amazon and thanks Amazon for giving me credit for the misuse.
This is what I call good service.

Hi.
perhapce you can check this link to get the Version 7.3 at least? I understand that this is not a developer Edition (it seems to) - but it Looks acceptable to use it for educational purposes

Dmitrii Iudin
Hi!
Does anyone have an update on NW 7.5 download version("miniSAP") ??
The Windows 10 Anniversary Update brought with it Ubuntu 14.04. This is not a VM, it is not a CYGWIN; it is a full blown release of Ubuntu 14.04.
What a wonderful wasted opportunity ....
Does it mean that the 7.40 SP08 don't run on Windows 10 ubuntu console?
It would be wonderful if it will !
J.
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
it's been just over a year now. Are there any news concerning a SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.x0 Developer Edition to download or are the only options to rent a Microsoft or Amazon cloud computing environment ?
Regards,
H. Bahr
Version 8.9 is coming soon, there is no point to focus on 7.x0
It's good that I've downloaded 7.4 when it was available..
I wonder if it is legally permitted to share downloaded files via some torrent link...
Good question Thea Hillenbrand ? Is it legal to share NW 7.40 ?
Guy's, of course it's not legal top share the prev. download version via torrent.
We know that we tried out your patience significantly.
At this point in time, NW 7.50 SP02 on ASE 16.0 dev edition download version is completed and successfully tested. All whats between you guy's and NW 7.50 is a final test and the production/delivery process itself.
So please give us a couple of days. It would be more than a strange if it's not available October latest.
October 2016.
Regards, Ralf
Hoping that 2016 EQ 2017 yields to ABAP_FALSE
I wonder how long it'll be up this time. Better set the alarm clock if you're in the wrong timezone...
Hi Ralf,
any update? It's October 2016
Regards, Diedrich
Perhaps they're still on the Julian calendar?
Maybe we should have in count the missing days in the gregorian calendar...
Hi! Ralf Henning,
I'm counting on your last reply, dice is rolling and it's 5th Oct 16 already.
Lot's of eyes are eagerly following this space, please don't make them wait for so long.
We all are counting on SAP to keep the developer's version free.
Best regards,
Charukant
So... I guess it's my turn to ask - where is it?
Hi everyone...
Any news ?
J.
BTW, the 7.40 SP08 I was using is no longer working...
J.
No Mate nothing. I think SAP doesn't want to learn and hands on to developers free of cost. They want to make money from this side too
Still a few more days of october... *fingers crossed*
Oh well,
Past this weekend we’ll be in november so I’ll have to assume 7.50 would be sometime the next year.
The instance I had stopped working some time ago because the license expired, and since there is no real date for the 7.5 version, then:
or
Thanks in advance,
J.
Hi Jesus,
Is there no possibility anymore to request a license key from SMP, and install it on client 000 as SAP*, as described in this thread (where the initial password of SAP* can also be found)? See the last post in this thread (29 Sept).
Kind regards,
Rob
Hi Rob,
I really didn’t understand what you meant by:
But the truth is that following the instructions on the thread of 29 sept you mentioned I was able to log on client 000 and install a new temporary license I just got from minisap (described also on the concise installation blog).
More precisely the steps were:
Just to be sure everything was correct I re-initiated my linux instance and confirmed all was working again (and it was!).
So,
Thank you very much !!
Now I can play with abap again.
