Providing Basic Information

The common setup wizard collects basic information before beginning the PowerBuilder and InfoMaker installations.

Tip: Click Cancel to interrupt the installation at any point during this procedure. You can then either exit or resume the common setup. If you choose to exit, you can stop the current installation and continue with your other selections, or end the setup completely.

To provide basic information before installing PowerBuilder and InfoMaker:

  1. On the start page of the setup program, select PowerBuilder 12.5.
  2. On the Welcome page, click Next.
    If you have not installed prerequisites for the current feature, the next page in the wizard informs you what needs to be installed. Click Cancel to exit the wizard, or Next to continue without installing the prerequisites.
  3. On the License Type page, select one of these license types and click Next:
    • Evaluation

      The Evaluation license allows you to install PowerBuilder for 30 days, for evaluation purposes only.

      Go to Step 5 to complete the License Agreement page and continue this procedure from that point.

    • Standalone Seat - Local License
    • Standalone Seat - Served

      In the Server Information page, enter the name of the license server provided by your system administrator. If the administrator who installed the license server defined a non-default TCP port number, you might also need to provide the TCP port number. Click Next and wait for a few seconds until the setup program validates the license.

    Proceeding Without a Valid License: You can select the local license or served license option without loading a license file or specifying a server location. When you click Next, the setup program displays an error message box. After you close the error message, the setup prompts you to confirm that you will obtain a valid license key within 30 days. Click Yes to proceed with the installation. Note that the installed products stop functioning after 30 days unless you install a valid license file or license server first.
  4. In the License Key page:
    1. Click Load.
    2. Navigate to and select your license file, and click Open.
    3. Click Next. Wait for a few seconds until the setup program validates the license.
  5. On the License Agreement page, select your location from the drop-down list, read the license agreement, select the I AGREE radio button, and click Next to continue.
  6. On the Customer Information page, enter your name and your company’s name.
  7. On the Choose Destination Location page, click Next to accept the destination path shown, or click Browse and select a different path, click OK, and click Next.
  8. On the Choose Destination Location For Shared Files page, click Next to accept the destination path shown, or click Browse and select a different path, click OK, and click Next. Use the same folder for shared files for all products in this set.
