Of course not ;-)
From the "Getting Started" help:
The Teradata Warehouse demo CD requires one of the following Microsoft Windows systems:
o Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Server, or Advanced Server with Service Pack 2 or later
o Microsoft Windows XP Home or Professional
o Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is not supported. However, installation on Server 2003 is allowed. We have tried out everything briefly and it seems to work, but none of the Teradata Warehouse products, particularly the Utility software, have been certified for this OS.

We are on version 04.01.03.44; Release V2R.04.01.03.15.
I'd like to use the demo CD but have a few questions before ordering:
1) The demo is of a version of Terdata later than we have. How does this apply? Are older version demo's still available (and did they have less functionality (e.g. a sample of the utilities)?
2) We have Windows NT 4.0 as our desktop client, due to the common problem of a 'common desktop environment' which is difficult to keep up to the latest release in large corporates (we have 35,000 employees). Is there any means by which I can use the demo under Windows NT or do I need to get a version of windows as stated above?
Hi,
The Utilities on the DEMO CD are the real utilities no restrictions except you aren't supposed to use them for your production work.
If you want to install JUST the TTU 7.0 client software off the DEMO CD and Try it out against your current 4.1.3.44 system, that would be fine. Again the restriction is
don't use these client utilitiies for Production work
However to test them out in an evaluation capacity like to see if there are any incompatibilities with your current software to get a head start on your upgrade planning great by all means.
However there are some features of the TTU 7.0 clients, Like the Stats and Index Wizards, which will be unavailable to you simply because the database support for that feature is only in v2r5.
The Client software should be able to be installed on NT as long as the database server is installed on a windows 2000, MPRAS or ( the demo database server can be installed on Windows XP. )
-----
Windows NT ( version 4.0 ) is no longer supported by the Teradata Database Engine as our database uses features only available in Windows 2000 and beyond.
This is true for The older (V2r4.1) demo and latest (V2r5.0) demo software.
Again the client software doesn't care.
