Activating with an offline license

Note

Offline licenses for PowerBuilder and InfoMaker can be activated on physical machines (running on Windows 11/10) only, and cannot be activated in virtual machines or cloud-based machines. For more information, refer to Running on a virtual machine.

To activate an offline license, follow these steps:

  1. Launch PowerBuilder and the login window appears.

  2. Click Activate in the login window and then click Activate without Internet.

  3. Enter the email address and the password for your user account.

  4. Select to activate the license with or without Internet connection.

    • If you select Activation with Internet connection, make sure your machine is connected to Internet and then click Activate. It goes back the PowerBuilder IDE when it is activated.

    • If you select Activation without Internet connection, do the following:

      1. Click Generate Client Request and the request string will be generated.

      2. Click Copy Client Request.

      3. Access the Activation page on the Appeon website from a computer that has Internet access.

      4. In the License Activation text box that appears paste the copied client request, and then click Submit.

      5. After it is activated successfully, click Copy to copy the response string.

      6. Go back to the PowerBuilder login window on your own computer, click Paste Server Response to paste the response string, and then click Activate.

      7. Click OK when the activation completes and PowerBuilder is activated.

        Once the offline license is activated successfully, you will be logged in to the PowerBuilder IDE.
