Great!

@G. Mar - as mentioned above Evaluation Licenses are only shown for those who are associated with a Support Customer organization.  Looking at your profile this is not the case for your InterSystems Login user.  Can you please reach out to your Account Manager and request that they provide an Evaluation Key, or get you properly tied to your Organization in the WRC (which would then give you the option of getting an Evaluation Key yourself).  Thanks!

@G. Mar  - Yes you can!  See the details on the InterSystems Evaluation Service here - https://community.intersystems.com/post/intersystems-evaluation-service

Current customers can log into https://evaluation.InterSystems.com and request a key for themselves.

Prospects can ask their Account Rep who can use the Evaluation Service to pull a key on their behalf.  

Hope that gets you what you need!

@Rajendra Chandracant - to reach InterSystems Support, please email support@InterSystems.com (you are on the Developer Community and not an official InterSystems support channel)

To get an IRIS key for testing purposes, please see the details about the Evaluation Service which customers can use to request an IRIS key: https://community.intersystems.com/post/intersystems-evaluation-service 

@Benjamin De Boe  - congrats and well deserved!!  I have to also echo my eager anticipation of the return of G.M. and new socks options ;) 

Thank you, we did change it as a stopgap, but we're more wondering about a more secure way to handle this situation. Benjamin's answer above is exactly what we needed, and he confirmed it was intended behavior which is very helpful

Awesome - thank you @Benjamin De Boe!  Just what we needed to know :)

I want to highlight the fact that the account expiration was several months long (so the connection being up for many months with no reconnecting) resulted in the account expiring.  

The other question (besides workarounds) is whether this is expected / desired behavior at the product level, or perhaps the account inactivity logic should take into account ongoing activity?

thank you for making us aware.  I have escalated this internally and I hope it can be corrected quickly.

We are using this to implement a reusable comprehensive email templating module to prevent our having to hand-craft HTML emails out of many different IRIS applications.  So far the approach looks very promising!  (and members of the community will eventually be able to directly see the results as we're first using this to implement a Welcome Email framework which can be used by any of our externally facing applications which use InterSystems Login accounts - https://community.intersystems.com/post/leveraging-your-intersystems-log...) 

My pleasure @Dean Andrews  - I couldn't do any of it were it not for the awesome team you have supporting the D.C. :) 

@Evgeny Shvarov  - I feel the same way about you and your contribution!  It's great striving together to make this place better for everyone learning our technologies :)

Umm ... that sounds a little scary, but thanks all the same ;)

thanks Raj!

Thank you - I agree it was great to connect at GS :)

much appreciated @Muhammad Waseem  - it's a real pleasure :)

Thank you @Robert Cemper!  Working with you on the Hermes application was a great joy to me as well, and I am very thankful that we have been able to stay in touch via the D.C. after your retirement :)  I continue to learn from your deep technical expertise!!
