(This document applies to the trial version activation process of PowerBuilder product bundle, InfoMaker product, and RapidSharp product bundle.)
You can request the trial version of the Appeon product 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 (and activating) the product, and assign the account with a trial license. One account can only be used to activate one PowerBuilder product bundle, one RapidSharp product bundle, and one InfoMaker only.
Follow these steps to request a trial version:
-
Visit the following Appeon website to apply for a trial version.
-
To apply for a trial version of the PowerBuilder product bundle: https://www.appeon.com/freetrial?product=pb
The trial version of CloudPro Edition is available for the PowerBuilder product bundle, which means you can evaluate the following products at one request: PowerBuilder IDE, PowerServer (PB Edition), and SnapDevelop (including .NET DataStore and PowerScript Migrator).
-
To apply for a trial version of the RapidSharp product bundle: https://www.appeon.com/freetrial?product=rs
You can evaluate SnapDevelop (including .NET DataStore and PowerScript Migrator) in the RapidSharp product bundle.
-
To apply for a trial version of the InfoMaker product: 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 the requested product.
-
a trial license for the requested product is assigned to your account.
-
the trial license is an online license.
-
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 product).
Note that SnapDevelop can have two different trial licenses: one for evaluating SnapDevelop installed from the PowerBuilder product bundle and the other for evaluating SnapDevelop installed from the RapidSharp product bundle.
You can view the license information and status in the User 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).
