Hi guys;

Hi,

As I understand, you would like to have access to 'NetApp Ontap Simulator' and demo licenses ?

As long as you have a valid NetApp account and credentials, you should be able to download Ontap Simulator by visiting the following page:
https://mysupport.netapp.com/tools/info/ECMLP2538456I.html?productID=61970&pcfContentID=ECMLP2538456

Depending upon the version of the Simulator you choose, licenses are provided along with it.

Thanks!

I'm afraid the simulator download is only open to customers and partners. Sharing it online will be a violation of the EULA.

If you are a potential customer - you can maybe ask NetApp sales for a demo.

There's an open demo for 90 days for ONTAP select. Which is very similar to the simulator, but require ESXi rather workstation/play that do work on the simulator.
