MagicDraw Reader edition is made for reading and previewing UML models created with MagicDraw and is free of charge. It is extremely useful when you want to share your ideas expressed in UML with partners, colleagues, or clients, who do not have their copy of MagicDraw. This edition is also equipped with printing and image export capabilities.
The MagicDraw Personal Edition contains all of MagicDraw's powerful UML diagramming capabilities, including full UML 2.0 support and extensibility features, basic reporting functionality and image export. Files are stored in XMI format.
All model elements can be accessed via MagicDraw's Open API.
In this edition, you will find everything you need to draw, edit and publish your UML 2.0 models.
MagicDraw Personal Edition is available only in a standalone version and is not designed for use with the MagicDraw Teamwork Server.
The Standard Edition takes all of the Personal Edition's features and adds to them a WAE, content, and Robustness diagrams, model analysis and facilitation features, customizable and extendable patterns, integrations with most popular IDEs and a set of predefined model templates and UML profiles.
The Standard Edition is available in standalone, floating and mobile license versions and is fully compatible with the MagicDraw Teamwork Server.
The Standard Edition is ideally suited for all analysts and architects who need various model extensions and modeling facilitations.
MagicDraw Standard Edition is bundled with M2Spring, M2Code for Java and M2Flex.
The Professional Edition is built on the Standard Edition's capabilities and is available in one of three programming language specific versions - Java, C++ and C#. In addition to the Standard Edition's features, the Professional Edition adds code generation and reverse engineering functionality. Depending on the language version selected, the user will receive:
Java version - Code engineering for Java, Java bytecode. Integration with Java IDEs.
C++ version - Code engineering for C++.
C# version - Code engineering for C#, CIL (MSIL).
The Professional Edition is ideal for anyone who wants to generate code out of an existing model or create a UML model from an existing project.
The Architect Edition is specially packaged to provide the optimal price and technical features necessary for architects that do not need the full capabilities of the Enterprise Edition. This edition combines the common functionality of the Standard Edition together with some powerful options from the Enterprise Edition. These include: advanced modeling facilitations and analysis, reverse engineering and code generation for DDL, WSDL, CORBA IDL and XML. Architects have less need for IDE integrations as well as Java and C++ code engineering, so these capabilities are not included.
The MagicDraw Enterprise Edition represents the top of the line of the MagicDraw family of products and represents the ultimate solution for all your modeling needs. The Enterprise Edition combines all of the functionality of the Personal and Standard Editions, and all three versions of the Professional Edition, into a comprehensive state-of-the-art UML 2.0 programming solution. But the Enterprise Edition does not stop there and adds code engineering and diagramming functionality in CORBA IDL, EJB, WSDL and XML schema. For working with DB structure, the Enterprise Edition not only provides code engineering and diagramming but also provides structure retrieval via JDBC.
The Enterprise Edition allows model transformations both ways: from Platform Independent Model (PIM) to Platform Specific Model (PSM) and from PSM to PIM. With model transformations, you can produce many specific models, such as XML Schema, DDL, or your customized specific model from a generic one.
With the first in industry visual model differencing feature, the Enterprise Edition provides unique capability to see the changes made between two different versions of a model.
The MagicDraw Enterprise Edition is a must when working with multiple development technologies and databases.
In addition to the process modeling capabilities of UML, the Enterprise Edition provides BPMN business process modeling support. MagicDraw with business-oriented notation support has become a single tool for business users and IT users.
The MagicDraw family of award-winning products represents the most powerful and best value in the UML modeling industry today.
