Download StorageGRID

Note

The Eval license file is located within the zip file. It is StorageGRID-Webscale-<version>\vsphere\NLF000000.txt once unzipped.
Note

Downloading the software is a process that involves trade compliance measures to adhere to legal requirements. To ensure compliance, users are required to create an account and open a support case before gaining access. This process helps us maintain proper control and documentation while providing prospects with the production-ready software they need.

We provide the "production-ready" version of StorageGRID, which is not an open-source or alternative version. It is important to note that support is not provided unless the prospect upgrades to a production license.

Please contact StorageGRID.Feedback@netapp.com for any trouble with the above steps.
