One consideration about comparing the Odoo Community Edition to the Odoo Enterprise Edition is that Odoo Enterprise requires that you pay license fees. At first you may think that makes it difficult to try Odoo Enterprise for yourself. Fortunately, there is a handy service called the Odoo runbot that will not only help you with comparing Community and Enterprise Edition but can also help you test out any version of Odoo.
You can access Odoo runbot by going to runbot.odoo.com/runbot:
When you first come to Odoo runbot, you are presented with a list of the Odoo Community builds starting with Odoo 10. You will notice that there are branches for 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, and the master branch, which is the current build that will eventually become Odoo 11. If you keep scrolling down, you will find many alternative builds that are for specific configurations or testing. For the purposes of this book we will be focusing on the 10.0 branch.
