Xi Software

Request an evaluation

Run Xi-Batch, Xi-Text or Xi-Exec on your own system. Tell us the platform and we will send the right build.

Request an evaluation

The fastest way to find out whether these products suit you is to run them. Evaluation copies install in minutes, need no database, make no kernel modifications, do not interfere with your existing scheduling or printing, and convert to licensed status without reinstallation.

Native packages are provided for the common platforms - RPM for Red Hat, SUSE and their derivatives, DEB for Debian, Ubuntu and theirs - and a tarball is provided for everything else, including platforms without native packaging and for controlled installs.

Why three parts, and what if mine is not listed?

The processor architecture, the make, and the operating system with its release together decide which build you get. It is the same shape as the platform strings in our own build system:

rs6000-ibm-aix7.1 · ia64-hp-hpux11.31 · hppa-hp-hpux11 · sparc-sun-solaris2.10 · x86_64-linux-centos10.1 · x86_64-linux-debian7

If your platform is not in the lists, choose Other and tell us in the box below. We will confirm whether it is supported, and say so plainly if it is not.

What happens next

We read every request. If we support the platform you have named we will send the build and a licence key for the evaluation period; if we do not, we will tell you that rather than leave you waiting.

Evaluations convert to licensed status without reinstallation, and moving between platforms within a processor class carries no additional licence fee.
