How/where to by PowerBuilder 12.5/12.6

[Former Member]

I contacted SAP today to buy a PowerBuilder license and was told that it is removed from their price list and is not avaiable for sale to new customers. Only exisisting customers on PowerBuilder is able to buy licenses. Old customers from Sybase with an SAP service plan could also buy new licenses.
I am in urgent need of an license - does anyone know where I can buy it?

Hi Bjorn;

Great .. thanks for the update!

I heard that the last day to purchase a PB License from Novalys is now March 25th.

Is that true?

Hmmm - Interesting ... I wonder why and where we will go for licenses after that?

Maybe SAP will bring some shrink-wrapped specials to the May PB get-together

Hi Chris,

We will most likely continue selling PB after March, but for the moment we don't know from SAP under which conditions this will be. That's why our offers and discounts are currently valid until the end of March. We are currently working on getting better visibility on the long term...

March 25th has now passed. Are there any recent updates or clarifications anybody can give regarding one's ability to purchase PowerBuilder?

[christophe_dufourmantelle · Accepted solution]

Hi John,

Yes, we now have an agreement to continue selling PowerBuilder until - at least - the end of 2015. You can request trial copies and information on discounts on this site http://powerbuilder.eu/

As far as I know PB12.6 is available and will be sold.

Hi Ludwin;

  Thanks for the information link.

However - they need to drop DataWindow.Net and EAServer from the list of products as DW.Net was decommissioned many years ago and EAS is EOL and almost out of support (end of 2015).

Hi Ludwin...

In Power People site there are some pages that are really old (PowerPeople.de: Enterprise, PowerPeople.de: DataWindow .NET ...)

That is right!

The shop is somewhat outdated.  Maybe because we don't make the most money by selleing PB 😉

But I will have it updated – hopefully soon.
