Editions and availability
Variables is only sold inside the Capable Suite for Confluence. There is no standalone Variables app. Within the Suite it is an Advanced-edition capability, like Forms and Quality.
#What each edition gets

#A few things worth knowing
Moving from Advanced back to Standard never breaks a page. Existing variables keep showing their values; you just cannot create new ones or point a macro at a different variable.
A site that installed Capable before editions existed counts as Standard until it moves to an edition.
Everything Variables needs is part of the Suite. There is nothing extra to install.
