Hello,

We no longer support installing a Stardog server on Windows. Also, we no longer provide free trial licenses for user-installed systems. You would need to get a license from our sales team at [Contact Us | Stardog](https://www.stardog.com/company/contact/).

However, a much easier approach to working with Stardog for free is to sign up for a Stardog Cloud account ([https://cloud.stardog.com/](https://cloud.stardog.com/)) and create a free Stardog endpoint ([Stardog Cloud](https://cloud.stardog.com/get-started)).

Regards,

Paul
