GlassFish V2 does not have any editions, only bundles. The bundles have some "other" software
bundled differently. Thus, if you got the bundle with HADB from www.sun.com, you get a bundle
that has all of the application server code that GlassFish has, plus NSS and HADB software.

Now, any bundle of GlassFish is "guaranteed" to have the Java EE 5 compliant application server
with clustering capability. In the bundle with HADB, you can (not have to) use HADB to be your
state persistent store (for availability) instead of the in-memory store that is available in all bundles.

So, you should do the following:

- Buy subscription ;)
- Get the Download with or without HADB bundle (does not matter).
- Install it.
