Identity Manager 4.0.2 is available in the Advanced Edition and the Standard Edition. There are separate ISOs for each of them. The Identity Manager 4.0.2 Advanced Edition includes a complete set of features for enterprise-class user provisioning. To meet varying customer requirements, the Identity Manager Standard Edition includes a subset of features available in the Identity Manager Advanced Edition. The Standard Edition continues to provide all the features that were present in the previous versions of Identity Manager. For more information on the Identity Manager 4.0.2 Advanced Edition and Identity Manager Standard Edition, see Identity Manager 4.0.2 Features
in the Identity Manager 4.0.2 Overview Guide.
You can purchase the edition that most closely meets your business requirements. Or you can download an evaluation copy of Identity Manager and use it for 90 days free of charge. However, the Identity Manager components must be activated within 90 days of installation, or they will shut down. At any time during the 90 days, or afterward, you can choose to purchase a product license and activate Identity Manager. For more information, see Section 5.0, Activating Novell Identity Manager Products.
To download Identity Manager and its services:
Go to the Novell Downloads Web site.
In the Product or Technology menu, select Novell Identity Manager, then click Search.
On the Novell Identity Manager Downloads page, click the Download button next to a file you want. Table 4-1 contains a description of each file.
Based on your requirements, select an appropriate ISO. Each ISO contains the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the product.
Follow the on-screen prompts to download the file to a directory on your computer.
Repeat from Step 3 until you have downloaded all the files you need.
Either mount the downloaded .iso file as a volume, or use the .iso file to create a DVD of the software. If you haven’t already verified that the media you burned is valid, you can check it by using the Media Check option.
NOTE:The Linux ISO files should be copied onto a double layer DVD due to the large size of the ISO files.

IMPORTANT:The Identity Manager integrated installer ships a convenience installer of JBoss community edition and PostgreSQL database. You can install these components without having to download them separately from their download sites. However, Novell does not provide information on updates, administration, configuration, or tuning for these components beyond what is outlined in the RBPM documentation. For creating a production or staging environment, it is recommended to use individual installers of RBPM with the enterprise application server and database.
To switch from the Identity Manager Advanced Edition to the Standard Edition, uninstall the Advanced Edition and then install the Standard Edition. To upgrade from the Standard Edition to the Advanced Edition, use the Identity Manager Advanced Edition ISO. You need to apply the correct activation to be able to upgrade to Advanced Edition. For more information on upgrading from the Standard Edition to the Advanced Edition, see Identity Manager 4.0.2 Upgrade and Migration Guide.
