What happened to the Caché Monitor packages
The historic download page offered Caché Monitor as a universal database tool with special features for InterSystems Caché and InterSystems IRIS: a free Home Edition, a 30-day evaluation of the Professional Edition without registration, and one package for all editions where the Professional features were activated by a licence key or a free trial.

Why the old builds are gone. Caché Monitor 2.96 ships JDBC drivers and a Java runtime from 2020 and receives no security updates. SQL DATA LENS connects to the same Caché and IRIS servers, picks up your registered Caché Monitor connections on first start and honours qualifying Caché Monitor licences. Both tools can be installed side by side while you switch. Read the official notes for Caché Monitor users. If you have a specific reason to need an old build, contact support@sqldatalens.com.

Frequently asked questions
Can I still download Caché Monitor 2.96?
No. The Caché Monitor 2.96 and 2.92 packages are no longer hosted. Caché Monitor 2.96 dates from April 2020 and ships InterSystems drivers of that era. Use the current SQL DATA LENS release instead; it connects to the same Caché and IRIS servers.
Is there still a free edition?
Yes. Caché Monitor had a free Home Edition limited to one localhost server. SQL DATA LENS has a permanently free Free Edition that needs no licence key. Every download starts as a full 30-day Pro trial without registration and then continues as the Free Edition. See the SQL DATA LENS pricing page for the edition comparison.
Do I need to install Java?
No. Since Caché Monitor 2.94 the application ships with its own Java runtime, and SQL DATA LENS continues this. Earlier versions required a separately installed Java 7 or Java 8 runtime.
Is one download enough for all editions?
Yes. Like Caché Monitor, SQL DATA LENS is one package, available as a per-user installer or as a portable ZIP. Pro features are unlocked by a licence key entered in the application.
