Requesting a trial version

Each user needs to request a trial version through the Appeon Website. When you request a trial version successfully, Appeon will automatically turn your Appeon Website account into a user account for logging into the product, and assign the account with a trial license. One account can only be used to activate one PowerBuilder (and one PowerServer).

Follow these steps to request a trial version:

  1. Visit the following Appeon Website.

    To apply for a trial version of Appeon PowerBuilder: https://www.appeon.com/freetrial?product=pb

    Only trial version of Universal Edition is available, which means you can evaluate PowerBuilder and PowerServer Mobile at the same request.

    To apply for a trial version of Appeon InfoMaker: https://www.appeon.com/freetrial?product=im

  2. Fill in the information as required and then click Submit.

    When registration is successful, which also means a trial license is requested successfully, please notice the following automatically happens:

    • the registered email address is used as your account for logging into the Appeon Website as well as PowerBuilder IDE (and PowerServer).

    • a trial license for PowerBuilder (and PowerServer) is assigned to your account.

    • the trial license appears in the User Center for your account on the Appeon Website.

      The User Center also shows during what period of time the trial license is valid.  Please verify a valid trial license appears in your account before attempting to use the trial version.

      Once a trial license has expired for a particular product, a new trial cannot be requested for at least 6 months.
