Looking to purchase a legal license of Powerbuilder 12.1
(OP)
All,
I am a PM involved in a divestiture. The business applications are 30+ years old, built in Powerbuilder 12.1. In order to be compliant (according to the seller), I have to purchase a legal license of 12.1 Does anyone have a license they no longer need that we can purchase. Please advise.

Sadly, I'm familiar (intimately) with the path from Sybase to Appeon. As I mentioned in the original, these systems are ancient and would have to go through recoding to work with Appeon's 2019 version. We don't have time within the next 6 weeks to get that done before moving these dinosaurs. I NEED a legal 12.1 license. What I'm looking for is if anyone in the community has a 12.1 license they no longer use that they are willing (and able) to part with. After cutover, we can upgrade, but for the moment, we are somewhat stuck.

Why couldn't ownership of the PowerBuilder licenses be transferred along with ownership of the application source code? If they are getting rid of the PowerBuilder application, they would have no use for the PowerBuilder licenses.

Where I work we are moving from 12.5 to 2019. We haven't run into any difficulties with the conversion. The only thing of note was that the pbtheme190.dll and pbjson190.dll files must be deployed with the apps even if the new Themes feature isn't being used.

***bang head here*** You can see why I am utterly confounded by this problem, I’m sure. For 3 months, this shouldn't even be a thing.

If not, what if a consulting company with a legal copy of PowerBuilder were allowed to take temporary control of the source and issue the rebranded application for you. Then after getting the go ahead from the seller, they could convert it to 2019 for you and send you the code. The source would be 'in escrow' legally. It would be cheaper than buying a copy of PowerBuilder 12.1 if it were available. I know someone who would do it.
