It is recommended that you log out PowerBuilder before uninstalling it. If not, you will be prompted to do so when uninstall begins.
-
Online license – If you are logged in with an online license, when you uninstall PowerBuilder, there will be two situations depending on the Internet access:
-
If the machine is connected with Internet, you will be logged out automatically and then uninstallation begins;
-
If the machine is not connected with Internet, you will be prompted to ask your license admin to log out later on the Appeon website (see the section called “Logging out users”) and then uninstallation continues after you confirm the prompt.
-
-
Offline license – Deactivation is required. If PowerBuilder is activated with an offline license, when you uninstall it, it will display the deactivation window and ask for deactivation before you uninstall PowerBuilder.
-
Online and offline licenses co-existing – If PowerBuilder is activated with an offline license at the same time you logged into PowerBuilder with an online license, when you uninstall PowerBuilder, it will first try to log out the online license and then handle the deactivation of the offline license.
You may see the following table for an easy understanding.
