Trial Software
A trial version of kdb+ is freely available for non-commercial use, and is ideal for learning
the q programming language.
Purchase Software
Standard Purchase
A standard purchase requires licensing at least 8 cores. Prospective customers interested in a standard purchase may be eligible for a free evaluation. Evaluations include a Kx engineer on-site.
Please contact a Kx sales representative to learn more about this option.
Start Pack
Start Pack allows new customers a way to begin with a smaller upfront commitment from 2 to 7 cores, and with simplified licensing. This has proven attractive for those already familiar with kdb+ at smaller hedge funds and prop trading companies, which can then use the same technology as Tier 1 global investment banks.
Please contact a Kx sales representative to learn more about this option.
If you have already contacted a Kx sales representative and have a Username and Password, you may begin your purchase.
