FAQs

General questions

Community Edition is a developer-focused Pega Platform trial available to our community members anytime. It allows access to the complete dev toolset that comes with Pega Platform. This includes App Studio, Dev Studio, and Prediction Studio. Community Edition is a great way to explore Pega platform, augment your Pega Academy learning, build a POC, a demo, or start developing any Pega solution.

The best place to get to your trial is from your My Trials page.

 

You can view your trial’s current expiration date from your My Trials page.

 

Standard trials of Community Edition are 30 days and can be extended for an additional 15 days.

To extend your Community Edition trial, go to your My Trials page on My Pega.

  1. Power on your Community Edition trial instance if necessary.
  2. In the lower-right corner of the Community Edition trial card, click the Actions menu, then Extend Trial 15 Days (One time).

Community Edition is always here for you. While you can only have one system at a time, there is no restriction on the number of times you may sign up. Special requests for longer extensions may be sent to [email protected] but we encourage you to export your work and move it to a new Community Edition system when you need it.

You use your Pega account credentials to log into your Community Edition trial or any Pega site (Pega.com, Community, Pega Academy, etc.)

Absolutely! There’s an invite user feature in App Studio designed just for this.

NOTE: Invited users cannot power up your Community Edition trial from their My Trials page, so they will need to coordinate with you to wake up the Community Edition trial instance if needed.

Troubleshooting tips and tricks
