[MarkLogic Dev General] Error obtaining community license key

[Gidi Kroon]

Hi,

I'm having trouble obtaining a community license key. It is not the 
error about an invalid key mentioned in the FAQ and the archives, but a 
malfunctioning of MarkLogic's site that gives me no key at all and no 
error message either. I've mailed them about it as indicated on their 
pages, but received no reply; details are in the message below.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem and more importantly, knows how 
to solve it?

Many thanks in advance,

Gidi Kroon
