Hello. 
The Precisely website says the following:  All of our Location intelligence software products, including MapBasic, are now available for download via Precisely Data Experience (PDX) , but when I log in, the My Software Products section is empty.
I just installed the trial version of MapInfo 2023.

Thanks

Hi,

If I log in to that website, I can see "MapInfo Pro-Perpetual" and if I click on that one, I get mapbasic 2023 as one of 7 available downloads. All MapInfo 2023 related.

But access to all older MapInfo / Mapbasic seems gone.


Kind regards
Uffe Kousgaard

Hey Uffe

Can you choose a different version from the Release dropdown at the top?

Hi Peter,

Yes, now I see the other versions.

There is also 15.0.3 (final 32-bit).
But the two actual downloads both seem to be a bugfix / maintenance module.
The core 15.0.0 installer is missing. It is way bigger than the files offered.

Regards
Uffe

I believe those compilers are specific for MI versions.  I'm running MI 8 that does along with Global Mapper everything that I need done.  I've got the source code for Map Basic ditty's that I use.  But, with no MI-8 specific compiler, I can't make more Map Basic dittys.  Bill Thoen wrote those for me almost 25 years ago and I'm still using them.  Global Mapper is a lot less $$$ than the latest and greatest MI and it does a lot more especially for images.  When you buy a Global Mapper version, you can continue to use it without renewing the license.  However, MI 8 has stood the test of time for many things it does.  I'm stuck with MI 8 for as long as I can use Windows 11.  I'm 77 and that won't likely happen until I die and at that point I won't care.  I don't know if you can still purchase MI-15.  But, if you can, I'm sure they will require regular yearly relicensing.  So again, I'm stuck.

Good catch, Uffe.
We are working on getting that fixed

You can reach out to our support team and ask for a link the the MapBasic download for your trial period.
The use of MapBasic is probably not typical for a trial user of MapInfo Pro.

Hi. I can’t get logged in to PDX and keep getting this SSO/Salesforce error?

 

I’m after older versions of Mapbasic as well. There doesn’t seem to be anyway raising an issue now as I can’t log in.

 

Any ideas?

Hi Paul

Get back to your supplier to get an email enabled first - then you can get past the SSO error to register.

It is only going back as far as v15.

I constantly had this error too, and have recently had to get my Precisely-registered email address changed to my microsoft account email address in order to login. Seems to work so far. 

You should be able to raise a case via email now, and until 14th Jan, after which cases can only be raised via the portal

Regards
Caroline

Hi Paul,

 

I have most version of Mapbasic backed up – if it permitted then let me know the version you are after and I will see if I have it here.

Thanks all, I’ve got hold on MB19 – the one I was after..

 

I’ve got access to PDX now as our supplier raised a call for me to gain access.
