Hello @Mondi ,

thank you for your interest on trialing CDP. Based on this documentation:

"You can try the CDP Private Cloud Base Edition of Cloudera Data Platform for 60 days without obtaining a license key file.

To download CDP Private Cloud Base without obtaining a license key file, visit the CDP Private Cloud Base Trial Download page, click Try Now, and follow the download instructions."

Hope this helps!

Best regards:

Hello @Mondi ,

thank you for asking for clarification if CDP has a Cloudera Express-like "no license required" distribution.

Our licensing strategy changed and you can find the details about it here.

For your convenience, I am pasting here a part of the "Subscription Agreement" section that might be relevant for you:

"3. Will Cloudera offer Developer or Trial software Subscriptions?

Customers and developers will be able to access our products with a subscription agreement with Cloudera. We will have partner development subscription agreements for developers through our Cloudera Connect Partner Program, and free (unsupported) short-term trial subscriptions through Cloudera.com."

Based on the documentation Cloudera Express is discontinued from version 6.3.3.

Hope it clarifies, let us know, please!

Kind regards:

Ferenc
