Hi All,

We are currently having 24R2 in our build place. Is there any option to have a demo environment for exploring new 25R2 capabilities? If yes, does it cost for existing customer? Please guide on this matter.

Thanks in advance.

Hi ​@Supriyo Podder ,

What options you have

✔ Option 1 — IFS Cloud Demo Environment (recommended)

You can request:

  • IFS Demo / Sandbox environment
  • Usually provisioned via:
    • your IFS Account Manager
    • or IFS Partner

 This is the most common approach

 Cost aspect

  • ❗ Not always free by default
  • But:

 For existing customers:

  • Sometimes provided as:
    • trial / POC environment
    • sales/demo support
    • upgrade evaluation environment

 Depends on:

  • your contract
  • relationship with IFS
  • ongoing projects

 What people usually do

✔ Through IFS / Partner

  • Raise request:
    • “Need 25R2 sandbox for evaluation”
  • IFS may provide:
    • limited-time environment
    • or shared demo access

✔ Internal setup (if you have infra)

  • Download:
    • 25R2 build from Build Place
  • Setup:
    • using Docker / Kubernetes

 But requires:

  • infra + expertise
  • not quick for demo purpose

✔ Partner demo access

If you work with partner (like PRoV / Envecon etc.):

  • They often have:
    • ready demo environments

 Faster than setting up yourself

 Important note

IFS does NOT provide:

  • automatic upgrade preview
  • or free permanent sandbox by default
