How can one open/view a .erwin file if your company does not have an ERWIN licence?
Is it possible?
Requesting an alternatively formatted file is not an option.

the thread suggests using a Visio 2003 database template to open the file. I do have Visio 2003, but the database template is not there.. – Allan Bowe Aug 09 '12 at 13:32

Install a trial version for 30 days, that should do it. – access_granted Nov 29 '16 at 23:45

You could try ERwin's community edition software, though as the comments point out, the 25-object limit will make complex models unviewable.

10Just FYI - the community edition only allows up to 25 objects. And the read-only edition is $1,000 (that's not a typo). – Mark Mar 05 '13 at 17:18

The 25 object limit makes community edition worthless in just about every real world scenario. – James Madison Sep 25 '14 at 20:10

Oh my - good thing I saw this, was downloading that mammoth of a software to open a file sent by a client which definitely contains more than 25 objects. Who *are* these guys? – Leonardo Herrera Jan 26 '16 at 18:36
