The imported license file will be deployed along with the Web APIs project, and will be activated when the Web APIs starts.
First of all, make sure you have a valid license for PowerServer 2021 GA.
-
If you have a preview or beta license, the
preview or beta license will no longer work with the GA
version.
-
If you already have a PowerBuilder CloudPro
license (no matter which version it is), the CloudPro license will
automatically work with the GA version. Each PowerBuilder CloudPro
subscription includes a developer license of PowerServer, which
supports a maximum of 5 user sessions (one user session = one
instance of the installable cloud app). You will need to purchase
a production license of PowerServer in order to use the production
server and more user sessions.
-
If you have no PowerBuilder CloudPro
license, you can apply for a trial license at https://www.appeon.com/psfreetrial,
or purchase a production license of PowerServer from https://www.appeon.com/pricing.
Once you have a valid license, you can import the license and deploy it along with the Web APIs project. The license will be activated when the Web APIs starts.
