Hello ScyllaDB community,  
I’m excited to learn about ScyllaDB. I’m looking for a community version of ScyllaDB for students that does not expire.

ScyllaDB website offers a free 30 day trial of Enterprise version. Does anyone know if the software completely stops working after 30 days?

I want to know that I will be able to do hands-on practice before investing time and effort going through the ScyllaDB university courses.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Just follow the instructions from [Install ScyllaDB | ScyllaDB Docs](https://docs.scylladb.com/manual/stable/getting-started/install-scylla/index.html)

You should be good to go, without any time/expiration limits.

Best regards,  
Gabriel.
