The FICO Xpress Community License has now been updated to the latest Xpress release version 9.9 and FICO Xpress Insight 5.17.2.

The FICO Xpress Community license is a free version that enables everyone to apply the latest optimization technology of FICO Xpress to solve their mathematical models, integrate with analytical and Machine Learning models, and operationalize them using FICO Xpress Insight.

Insight 5 Community edition is restricted to a single admin user and single execution worker.
Upgrading of Insight 5 community edition is a single upgrade process (no uninstallation required). Yet, the fully fledged Xpress Insight 5 and the Insight 5 Community edition are different versions of the software which cannot be installed on top of each other. Here, uninstallation of the other version is required when switching between the two.
