If you are upgrading from a previous version, you may optionally regenerate your PowerDesigner license keys at SAP Service Marketplace (SMP). Nope! PowerDesigner 16.6 can use the same license file as PowerDesigner 16.5.
For example, if you are currently using 16.5 SP05 PL04, you will get the following message stating that the setup will update your version to 16.6.ĭo I need to generate a new license file for 16.6? It should also be noted that even though this is an installation, it cannot be installed alongside a previous version of PowerDesigner 16.x.
Note: As always, if you upgrade the Client, you must also upgrade the Proxy and Portal to the same version.
It will be there in the morning.Īlong with the client installs, the zip file also includes the following installations: Make sure you’re on a fast connection or start the download, go take a walk, have some lunch or enjoy a nice night’s sleep. There is only one download that includes both the 32-bit and 64-bit installations, which is why the zip file is over 3GB! While the single large file is provided for ease of use, it comes at the price of it’s length. The download file is located under the Installation and Upgrades at the SAP Support Portal. I’ve also attached the Release Notes for your reading pleasure. I promise it’s worth your while, unlike assembly directions for IKEA furniture. We are also looking at MySQL for some of our smaller products which do not require the power of Oracle so would need to have support for MySQL as well.March is upon us, winter is coming to an end, and PowerDesigner 16.6 is now available! But before you go rushing out to download your copy to be the first customer to test it out, please take a few minutes to read through this official release from the PDNN (PowerDesigner News Network). We use Oracle Database 9i as well as 9iAS (and will look at certifying our products with 10g later this year). I can buy and learn from a book on Designer pretty easily, as well as learn from Oracle's OLN (Online Learning Network). I have data models for our databases and reports for the models in PowerDesigner. So, that comes out to about $2,300, and we are a small business, so money counts. I could then purchase the Upgrade Subscription plan for another $1,100 to take me to version 11. Sybase, on the other hand, is coming out with version 11 in the August/September 2004 timeframe and will offer an upgrade from 8.0 to 10.0 for $1,200. Since we are an Oracle Partner, we (like most everyone) have free licenses for Designer for Development work. We currently use PowerDesigner 8.0 and, since Sybase is ending its life, we need to either upgrade or move to another product. Although I have 5 years experience as an Oracle DBA, I am new to Data Modelling, which my new job requires that I do.
