unable to install sn_pattern_design 6.16 pattern in my PDI

[nicks8850]

Hi Experts,

I want to know if below application is a paid one as I am unable to install it in my PDI. 

Can someone please suggest on urgent basis? I am trying to learn cloud discovery.

Thanks,

Hi there,

This has nothing to do with a paid plugin or not. Some plugins just go through the store or are simply not available for PDIs. Looking at what you are sharing, it is clearly mentioning Store. So that's a no go.

I've been using this plugin in PDIs for years to test and learn discovery, and believe it was as of v1.10 we can no longer install it (for those with an older PDI, we couldn't upgrade after 1.10).  Just about any plugin that's available via a PDI is also a paid plugin if you're not working in a PDI.  Per the getting started blog on PDIs, "ServiceNow offers free Personal Developer Instances (PDI) to registered users who want to develop applications on the ServiceNow platform or improve their skills with ServiceNow."   For those in the ITOM space working discovery, this renders the PDIs pretty useless.

Little by little, the PDIs are becoming less useful, it's not possible to make use of the HAM, it's not possible to make use of the Metric Base (preventing the use of metric intelligence), and now it's time for discovery to have its functionalities reduced. Let's see what will be available in a few months.
