PowerServer Toolkit is only available in the PowerBuilder Universal Edition. It can deploy PowerBuilder apps as mobile apps or Web apps to 2019, 2017 R3, 2017 R2, 2017, and 2016 PowerServer (formerly called Appeon Server) based on the .NET or J2EE application servers. |

The PowerServer Web/Mobile server component from PowerServer (PB Edition) and the PowerServer Web/Mobile server component from other Appeon PowerServer Editions must be installed on different servers. If you install them on the same server, unpredictable issues may occur, and you should uninstall both, and then install them separately on different servers.
Also notice the different features supported in these editions.
