After you have renewed your PowerBuilder subscription, you need to renew your offline license in PowerBuilder IDE.

  1. In PowerBuilder, select Help > Offline License Management > Renew.

  2. Select to renew the offline license with or without Internet connection.

    • If you select Renewal with Internet connection, make sure your current machine can access Internet, and the offline license will be renewed by the Appeon license server immediately after you click Renew.

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

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

      2. Click Copy Client Request.

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

      4. In the License Renewal text box that appears, paste the request string, and then click Submit.

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

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

      7. Click OK when the renewal completes and PowerBuilder is renewed accordingly.

Note: The renewed offline license will take effect the day after your last license expires.
