Hi all,

after the Pega 8.8 Platform release, will there be a Personal Edition in v8.8 available soon? The link in the Software Donwloads section still points to the previsious (8.7) release.

This would be great for early impact analysis and trying out new features for our developers.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Florian

@FlorianB1448 please see the answer in this forum [question](https://support.pega.com/question/when-will-pega-platform-88-be-released).

There will be a delay before PE 8.8.x will be issued (tracked under BUG-758685).

I have had confirmation from our Software Downloads team: Personal Edition is not released for 8.8 and will likely not be available until 8.8.1.

\*\*\* Edit Jan 2023: the issue persists in 8.8.1 therefore PE will not be available until a later date, possibly 8.9 \*\*\*\*\*

\*\*\* Edit Feb 2023: the issue persists in 8.8.1 - decision has been made to discontinue Personal Edition releases. Awaiting official announcement by Pega Engineering team \*\*\*\*\*

However, you may be interested to take a look at another service available, and which will be our recommended way forwards: [Pega Trials](https://www.pega.com/platform-trial)

This version will be kept updated to the latest patch with each release.
