I own a copy of PowerBuilder 12.5, purchased years ago when licenses were permanent. I use it to maintain two small personal applications. Over the years, I have generated new licenses as computers were replaced. Recently, the hard drive on the Windows 7 PC which hosts PowerBuilder 12.5 crashed. The new hard drive has a different physical address, so a new license needs to be generated. But the sybase.subscribenet.com website no longer exists.
If this is not something a customer can do any longer, is there someone at SAP that can do this for me?
I'd appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you.
Request clarification before answering.
Thanks to the member who posted the link to https://go.support.sap.com/minisap/#/minisap. I visited the page but not finding PowerBuilder among the listed programs, I thought it didn't apply. Later I revisited the page and found the link at the top of that page, "Go to Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) License Rehost". That opens a simple form where you import your PB125.lic file (which you need to get from the current host), enter the new Host ID and new host name. Click the Generate button and you're prompted for the save file name and location. Copy the new PB125.lic file to the new host, open PB 12.5, use Tools>Update License to bring in the new license. Restart PB and check that the license info under Help>About is now correct. Problem solved.
