The drivers for the Segger J-Link are available to download from 
http://www.segger.com/downloads.html

The RDI variation of their driver costs money, the development version costs 
money, all others are free.

I you have a J-Link it will work out of the box with IAR EWBARM Kickstart 
(free) and above.
