Request an evaluation license

We offer a fully functional version of the CLC Microbial Genomics Module for evaluation purposes, free of charge. Each user is entitled to 14 days demo of the workbench. If you are unable to complete your assessment in the available time, please send an email to bioinformaticssales@qiagen.com to request an additional evaluation period.

When you choose the option Request an evaluation license, you will see the dialog shown in figure 23.2.

Figure 23.2: Choosing between direct download or going to the license download web page.

In this dialog, there are two options:

Direct Download. Download the license directly. This method requires that the Workbench has access to the external network.
Go to CLC License Download web page. The online license download form will be opened in a web browser. This option is suitable for when downloading a license for use on another machine that does not have access to the external network, and thus cannot access the QIAGEN Aarhus servers.

After selecting your method of choice, click on the button labeled Next.
