Can someone share their knowledge about procuring the SDL Tridion licenses in following scenario:

1) Someone wants to take/buy the license for individual purpose - No Organization, No Production websites, No Commercial use - Just for Learning purpose. Is their something called trial license or reciprocal licenses for that sake. Please note the Individual is not an SDL Tridion MVP

2) Someone wants to take/buy the license for Marketing purpose - No Organization, No Commercial Use other than giving demos

3) What is the procedure for an organization to register for being a Partner with SDL Tridion

I think this is a good question; it comes up enough that I summarized the ways to get started with Tridion in this post. But software licensing questions may not necessarily be a good fit for StackOverflow. Definitely reach out to SDL, probably on the partner application side. If you suspect being an individual is really the problem, apply as an organization, find Tridion work, or consider applying to SDL itself. - Alvin Reyes
This question does not appear to be about programming as defined in the help pages. - Trevor
Yeah Correct, although it is very useful to the people - The admins can take next action to move it to the sub-StackExchange webste for this purpose - which is www.tridion.stackexchange.com - Pankaj Gaur

The only option I know of (as it seems you have discovered) for a free individual research license is to gain SDL Tridion MVP status, or work for an SDL partner who has a partner licenses. Other than that you may need to purchase one.

You will need to contact SDL about this - They are the only ones who can provide you pricing information on SDL Tridion.

It is not possible to have an individual license, also not for personal or training use.

When you want to obtain a license for marketing purposes you need to enroll as a partner. You can use the following form to indicate that you want to become one:

Often specific POC licenses are issued during sales cycles, but they are specific to the prospect environment.

SDL now makes a free developer license (not for commercial use) available. Details on their community website here:
