PB 11.5 licensing issue

[Former Member]

We are using PowerBuilder 11.5 software. We had installed the software on our offshore machines and it worked fine. However, now when we are trying to install in onsite servers (UK) we are facing licensing problems.  The s/w was installed successfully but license status is 'Grace mode'. Is this because these are virtual servers not physical ones?

Not because they're virtual machines, but most likely because you're accessing them through remote desktop.

If you're running PowerBuilder on one desktop and you need to access it from another desktop (e.g., working from home) you can install a local Sysam server and it will allow the single session remote desktop connection.

However, it doesn't support Citrix style deploy at all.

Hi Kajori;

  FYI:

1) The PB IDE is not certified for any MS-Windows Server version ... Only desktop.

2) If you want to run on virtual MS-Windows instances, you must install & serve the PB licences through the SySam  license server.
