How to allow to download free lab without fill in company address?

[Maivakov]

I only download at home laptop to try

Not on behalf of company 

But it pop up message require to fill company address 

I am not SI company and afraid fill in address become partner account and lose ownership of exam certificates

Per the guide https://developer.cisco.com/docs/modeling-labs/cml-free/#downloading-cml-free

If you do not work for a company:
you may enter Self for the Company field.
enter your home address for the company address.

This error poped up for me too. So I filled out the company field as myself but now I'm getting a new error saying I need a service contract? sigh. 

Service Contract Required

To Download this software, you must have a valid service contract associated to your Cisco.com profile.

If you do not have a service contract you can get one through:

• Your Cisco Account Team if you have a direct purchase agreement with Cisco
• Your Cisco Partner or Reseller

Once you have the service contract you must associate your service contract to your Cisco.com user ID with profile manger

Hello @paulgutierrez798441741,

you probably selected the download section for the current version 2.8.1 but this is for paying customers only.

For CML-FREE you have to use the downloads available here:

https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286193282/type/286326381/release/CML-Free

The files in this section only require registration but no purchase / software contract.

HTH!
