Zero-Install Version available: evaluating EiffelStudio quickly

Skip the downloading and installation part and get going in a matter of minutes.

Eiffel Software announced today the release of the Zero-Install Version for the latest release of the EiffelStudio Integrated Development Environment (IDE). EiffelStudio is a comprehensive suite of tools that enables programmers to produce correct, reliable, and maintainable software systems while keeping control of the development process.

There are great programming languages and software development tools out there, but they all have one thing in common – they take forever to install. Let’s face it.  Not everyone likes fighting with the hardware, the operating system and all the various tasks involved in installing software. It is time consuming and frustrating.

The Zero-Install version of EiffelStudio gives those looking to evaluate it a chance to bypass all the tedious parts of getting a software system up and running. Interested users go directly to a version of EiffelStudio pre-installed on the cloud. There is a 5-day limit to the evaluation period and the Zero-Install version is only intended for developers looking to develop commercial applications. For hobbyists, students, open-source developers,  and others looking to evaluate EiffelStudio, there are evaluation and open-source versions available on the EiffelStudio download site.

“In talking to customers and prospects, we think it’s a fair exchange,” says Greg Soulages, Head of Global Sales. “We give access to EiffelStudio almost instantly but limit it to a 5-day trial. Those who want more time can download and install the evaluation and open-source versions of EiffelStudio the traditional way. These versions have no expiration dates.”
