Getting started with MicroStrategy...

Hi Guys,


If you are new to MicroStrategy... here is how you can get started. Fist of all you must have the MicroStrategy software installed in your machine. To do so you must get the MicroStrategy software.

First step would be to register in the resource site with your corporate account to get full advantage of MicroStrategy and all its services. You can do so by registering it in the below link.

Then you need to download the software. There are different version of software but the thing is that you would not get a full package version for free. There are two flavors of MicroStrategy tool where one is totally free but you can use only the reporting module without the administration tools.

Unfortunately from 9.4.1 onwards MicroStrategy provides only a evaluation version for one month as a trial.

To get the full package evaluation version fully operational for 30 days you can follow the below link. The current version of the MicroStrategy Release is 9.5.0s

You can download and install the software in your machine. Installation steps are quite straight forward as simple as any windows installable.
