Evaluating JPA Designer
If you want to evaluate JPA Designer you should download and install the latest version of the program. The program will run in demonstration mode, allowing you to use all its functions; however, you will not be able to see the results of your calculations.
Existing users
If you currently use JPA Designer and have purchased and annual SAP or Uvalue licence you can download the latest version of the software from this page. You will have to uninstall the old version using the Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel before installing the new version: that will remove the old program files, but will leave your projects, user database and key codes intact.
If you have not purchased an annual licence or your licence has expired, DO NOT install the latest version as this will only work in demo mode and you will need to purchase a new licence to unlock the software. If you install the latest version by mistake or you need to reinstall your existing, unlicenced software, use the fixed version above - your existing keycode will still activate this version.
You may also want to download the latest version of the manual.
