Usually one contacts the vendor and asks for a time-limited full version of the product for evaluation.

That's one of the advantages of a language standard with multiple competing / complementing implementations.

Yes, if there is already the deep desire to acquire Lispworks, this would be the way to go. But I never arrived at that point. It is also a bit odd to have a personal edition which supposedly is usable for evaluation, but it really isn't. As I said before, I might not be their target customer, but on the other side, my experiences might be more common, so I am presenting them here.
