How to obtain an evaluation license for testing ECP and FHIR in Community Edition 2025.3?

You can obtain an evaluation license for testing ECP and FHIR in Community Edition 2025.3 through the InterSystems Evaluation Service. This service provides access to an IRIS kit and a powerful evaluation license within minutes. You can get the license and software via two ways:

1. Worldwide Response Center (WRC): Accessible to both InterSystems end users and partners. You need a WRC user account to use this. If assistance is needed to set up your account, you can reach out to support@intersystems.com. On the WRC platform, navigate to Online Distributions and select Evaluations.

2. Partner Hub: Dedicated for InterSystems partners. Access the service directly from the Partner Hub by clicking the Evaluation Service button on the dashboard.

The evaluation license is robust, enabling 256 cores and all enterprise features like Mirroring, ECP, and Sharding. It is valid for 35 days, after which you can renew it through the service. These tools make it straightforward for testing purposes without requiring prior interaction or paperwork 1.

You don't need to obtain an evaluation license directly, you just need to download the community edition of InterSystems IRIS for Health (IRIS For Health includes FHIR server capabilities). You can download installation kits here: Evaluate InterSystems Products or containers from docker hub with: 

docker run --name my-iris-health --publish 52773:52773 --publish 1972:1972 -d intersystems/irishealth-community:2025.3

The community edition is free to use, but has limits to prevent it being in production (e.g. max database size, max number of connections etc).
