Import and deploy license
You can import the PowerServer license on the Deploy page in the PowerServer project
painter.
First of all, make sure you have a valid license for
PowerServer.
-
If you already have a PowerBuilder CloudPro license (no matter
which version it is), the CloudPro license will work with
PowerServer 2022 R2. Each PowerBuilder CloudPro subscription
includes a developer license of PowerServer, which supports a
maximum of 5 user sessions (one user session = one single instance
of an 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 validated
later when the PowerServer Web APIs is run.
For the developer license or trial license, you can import the
license automatically or manually; while for the production license, you
can only import the license manually. The tutorial Applying
a production license to an existing PowerServer project has more
detailed instructions for how to get and import the production license into the project.
To import the license automatically:
If you have a developer license or trial license included in the
PowerBuilder CloudPro subscription, you can import the license
automatically from the Appeon website according to the current
PowerBuilder IDE login account.
-
Make sure the computer can connect to the Appeon sites: https://api.appeon.com
and https://api2.appeon.com. -
Go to the Deploy page of the
PowerServer project painter, and then click Auto Import to automatically import the
license.PowerBuilder will automatically obtain the developer or trial
license of PowerServer (according to your PowerBuilder IDE login
account) from the Appeon sites and then import the license
here.
To import the license manually:
If you have a production license, you can only import the
license manually.
You can also export the license file from the Appeon website
manually and then import the license here.
-
Log into the Appeon User Center, click License Management, and then click All Licenses under PowerServer.
-
Click View, and then click
Export to export the license code
to a TXT file ([LicenseKey].txt) and save the file on the local
machine.Do not change the file name, as the file name represents the
unique license key.
-
Go to the Deploy page of the
PowerServer project painter, and then click Import From File to select and import the
[LicenseKey].txt file.
If multiple PowerServer projects will use different PowerServers,
then you must import the license to every project before deployment. The
license will be stored in the UserConfig.json file and deployed along with the
PowerServer Web APIs.
The license will be automatically validated when the PowerServer
Web APIs is run. Please make sure the server can connect to the appropriate
Appeon websites so that the Appeon license server can
successfully validate the license and activate PowerServer.
