"You need a valid App Engine Studio license to continue working. Any work done in App Engine Studio will be available once this license is reinstated. To reinstate your App Engine license, contact your ServiceNow admin."
(Please see attached screenshot)
Solved! Go to Solution.

It may be able to switch over to App Engine Studio by switching User Role.
- Go to Developer instance home page.
https://developer.servicenow.com/ - Select "Change User Role" under Instance Action
- Select "App Engine Studio Creator" and click on "Change User Role".

After I switched roles, it still displayed "You need a valid App Engine Studio license to continue working." After successfully applying for PDI, what else do I need to do to obtain a license?

Hi @DongW
No need to worry — this is a known issue with PDIs these days. Please follow the steps below:
-
Log in to developer.servicenow.com.
-
Go to your Profile.
-
On the left-hand side, open the Instance Recreate section.
-
Select Change User Role.
-
Change the role from AES to Admin.
-
Save your changes.
-
Log out, then log back in to your PDI instance.
If the issue still persists, you can release the instance and provision a new one.
This is a fairly common issue with PDIs recently. Also, please note that since there’s no official support for PDIs, it might take a few attempts — but keep trying.
If my response proves useful, please indicate its helpfulness by selecting " Accept as Solution" and " Helpful." This action benefits both the community and me.
