Free Demo of xTuple ERP

Our free hosted demo lets you sample the advanced features we offer in our top-tier commercial product, xTuple ERP Manufacturing Edition. We'll set up an account for you and host the database on our server, and you'll download the client software to access your account.

Accessing the DEMO
Once we approve your demo request, you'll need two things:

1. xTuple ERP client software.
   Download the PostBooks Installer version 3.5.0 from SourceForge.net. The installer is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. We distribute the xTuple client binaries as part of the full installer package. You'll only need the xTuple client to access the Hosted Demo, so you may choose not to install the database and other components if you don't want them.
    
2. Your hosted database on our servers.
   The demo approval email contains the configuration information you need to access the demo.

Guide to the DEMO
The online Demo Guide in the documents section of xTuple.org will walk you through a sample business cycle in the xTuple ERP environment, including sales order entry, planning, purchasing, raw material receipts, manufacturing, fulfillment and invoicing.

1. If you have downloaded the client software and have the demo approval email, you may launch the client with your xTuple username and password now and follow the steps in the Demo Guide now to learn more about the software.
    
2. Of course, you're welcome to peruse the xTuple Demo Guide without running the client software. For optimal viewing, we recommend maximizing your browser window - the tour contains lots of screenshots.
    
       Or ... if you prefer, you can just watch Flash video demonstrations of xTuple ERP functionality.

Reminder: The hosted demo is a way to sample our commercially-licensed Manufacturing Edition for a limited time. If you want our free open source software (with no time limits), please download the PostBooks Edition of xTuple ERP from our SourceForge.net repository.
