Not many, I fear. Most of the user-oriented discussions Adabas D discussions
I found on Google were from before 2004.

Where did you find your download copy ? Is it recent ?
I had a look at the official website here :
http://www.softwareag.com/Corporate/products/adabas/rela_3rd_prod/adad/default.asp
and there's no download link.

The "Download free Adabas D license (Personal Edition)" text is just that, text.

I had a look at the "request a commercial license" form; the most recent
operating system in the list is Windows Server 2003. At least one (Tru64) has
been abandonned for years ...
