  • It provides an easy lab and staging environment.

IAG virtual machine can be acquired through Microsoft Volume Licensing. It is also available as trial software that you can download and use for evaluation purposes, for a limited period of time. For installation instructions, see Installing IAG with Service Pack 2 as a virtual machine.
