Upgrading an offline license

You can upgrade a license from a lower edition to a higher edition, for example, from a Standard edition to a Professional edition, or from a Professional edition to a CloudPro edition.

To upgrade an offline license in PowerBuilder IDE, follow these steps:

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

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

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

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

      1. Click Generate Client Request to generate a request string.

      2. Click Copy Client Request to copy the request string.

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

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

      5. After it is upgraded 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 Upgrade.

      7. Click OK when the upgrade completes and PowerBuilder is upgraded.

      You can check the updated license information from Help > Offline License Management > License Info.
