SAP Installation-Trial Versions

Trial copies of SAP Software are usually available from the SAP Developer Network. The location within the site occassionally changes, and so does what is available.

  • These are trial copies, and usually expire within 90 days. Don’t try to run your business on them.
  • These will run on reasonably modern laptops, 1GB or more of memory (maybe 2GB if you’re running the VMware installations) and require somewhere more than 20 GB of disk (depedning on the particular install you choose).
