Excelsior JET Standard set free, first beta for Linux/ARM released

You can now get a personal license for Excelsior JET, Standard Edition at no cost. The license is perpetual and permits commercial use:

In other news, we are going to support ARM platforms, and the first beta for Linux/ARMv7 is already out:

Already grabbed :slight_smile: I have actual use for this at work! (Not game related)

But also of course I’d be personally interested in how this is going to fit in on Android or iOS. I bet the libgdx guys are even more interested.

Do you have any plan to fill the void left by RoboVM? such as releasing a version that can run applications on Android and iOS?

Yes, but doing it properly is a lot of work, so we are currently trying to either find a strategic partner or raise capital to speed things up.

Wow, cool. Would love to know the details (you still have my email, right?)

We are working on this too, but there is still a long way to go.

Yep, still got your email… will drop you a line tomorrow from work.

Do you ever plan to do another sale/charity event?

As we made the Standard Edition free, there is no point in reproducing the past charity events. For the other editions, we have a permanent discount program: https://www.excelsiorjet.com/micro

If you have other ideas, please share.

The free version is not for commercial use (I was wrong about that just needed to read all of the offerings). So, I would still purchase if you had a big charity sale like before. I don’t use it commercially still, but I don’t even mess with stuff that does not allow for it.

BTW, keep up the good work. It is still the only closed source product I would even consider using for releases.

Apparently it is for commercial use. That’s very generous, thanks dleskov.

Looks like you are correct. My bad. I only read through some of the sales info.

However, you could do a charity and/or sale with the 64 bit version as most people have 64 bit systems now.

Such a sale has been going on permanently since 2008: https://www.excelsiorjet.com/micro
