Hi!
I downloaded an evaluation copy of PowerDesigner 16.5, Enterprise Architecture edition and installed it immediately to my 64-it Win7 Pro machine (I run the installation procedure as an administrator). Attached is a screenshot of settings summary screen, confirming that this is indeed a trial package.
When I start the shell, I get "Trial period has expired" (screenshot attached).
In c:\programData\PowerDesigner 16 folder two Sybase asset management files say:
$ cat sysam.properties

Pd.LicenseMode=Trial

$ cat sysam.log

For further information, refer to the Sybase Software Asset Management website at http://www.sybase.com/sysam
FlexLM license server is not running on my machine, there is no c:\flexlm folder, and only license.dat or *.lic files I have are associated with other products.
What am I missing? Shouldn't the download have included a 15-day standalone seat local license file? Do I have to obtain it separately?
Thanks!
