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:
-
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 Web/Mobile at the same request.
To apply for a trial version of Appeon InfoMaker: https://www.appeon.com/freetrial?product=im
-
Fill in the information as required and then click Submit.
When registration is successful, which 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 (Click License Management in the User Center navigation bar, and then click My Trial Licenses under the purchased product).
You can view the license information and status in the Use Center. And once you logged in with the trial license, a Logout option will be displayed here, so that manual logout is available whenever needed.
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.
Note
Once a trial license has expired for a particular product, a new trial cannot be requested for at least 90 days. And once a machine with a particular product is activated with a trial license and once the trial license expires, this machine cannot be activated with a trial license for at least 90 days.
The pause period between two trials is 180 days (not 90 days).
