Download the COBOL-to-Java and COBOL-to-C# Evaluation Toolkit

SoftwareMining provides its automated, rule-based COBOL-to-Java and COBOL-to-C# Evaluation Toolkit directly to enterprise customers and system integrators. The toolkit allows teams to evaluate enterprise COBOL-to-Java conversion using their own applications and within their own infrastructure, while retaining control of source code, business data, testing and generated Java or C# code.

The evaluation supports application analysis, dependency mapping, flowcharting, documentation and automated translation, and includes sample projects for initial testing. SoftwareMining can also provide the runtime libraries and temporary evaluation licence files required to compile and execute translated applications.

Choose the Windows installer for guided setup, or the portable ZIP package when installation rights are unavailable. Both packages provide the same evaluation functionality.


How the Evaluation Works

  1. Download and install the SoftwareMining Translation Toolkit.
  2. Register within the application using your business email address and create a password.
  3. The evaluation account provides capacity to analyse and translate up to 100,000 lines of COBOL into Java or C#.
  4. Contact SoftwareMining to obtain the runtime libraries and temporary evaluation licence files required to compile and execute the translated application.

Evaluation runtime licences are normally issued for a limited period, allowing enterprise teams and system integrators to compile, execute and validate the translated application within their own infrastructure.
