How to purchase PID?

[TouhidulI]

Tried to get an instance but still on waitlist. It's urgent to get one for project work of my company. How to buy a PID?

Hi @TouhidulI 

You cannot purchase a Personal Developer Instance (PDI). PDIs are provided free of charge by ServiceNow.

At the moment, due to high demand, there is typically a waiting period of 2–3 weeks before a PDI becomes available.

If you need immediate access, you have two options:

• Wait until a PDI is allocated to you.

• Use a client or company instance (if you have access) to continue your development and testing.

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to purchase or expedite the allocation of a PDI.

PDIs are free and their availability depends on ServiceNow.

Instead of PDI why not ask customer to have their own DEV, UAT, PROD instance?

OR

If you are working for ServiceNow partner your company should have vendor or demo instances where you can develop and then migrate to customer's DEV instance.

I need PDI to train up developers and work for company. You said we can get DEV, UAT instance or demo instance. How to get those? could you tell a bit more please? Thanks.

Is your customer already using ServiceNow, or are they new to the platform and looking for training?

If the customer does not have a ServiceNow subscription, they cannot obtain a ServiceNow instance other than a Personal Developer Instance (PDI).

Could you share more details about your use case? With a better understanding of your requirements, I can guide you on the most suitable approach.
