Installing App Engine Studio
You can install the App Engine Studio (AES) application (com.snc.app-engine-studio) if you have the admin role. The application installs related ServiceNow® Store applications and plugins if they are not already installed.
Trial version of AES
To try AES before purchasing a license, you can install it on a personal developer instance (PDI). For more information about PDIs, see Personal developer instance guide. To obtain a PDI, see the ServiceNow Developer Site.
Note: An App Engine Studio subscription is required to install on a production or non-production instance. For more information, contact your ServiceNow representative.
Using the ServiceNow Store to install AES
The ServiceNow Store enables you to download core products and applications. A product contains one or more applications that are licensed as a group. For example, App Engine Studio is a product that contains numerous tools and applications within it, such as Table Builder and Mobile App Builder. If you install the basic AES application and not the full AES product, you won't get its full suite of features and tools.
AES in the ServiceNow Store
Check that the application and all of its associated ServiceNow Store applications have valid ServiceNow entitlements. For more information, see Get entitlement for AES apps.
When you install AES, you also install the following related items:
- Roles and groups
- Tables
- Plugins
For more information, see Components installed with AES.
Installation workflow for AES
The following is an overview of the tasks that you must perform to install AES for the first time:
- Develop your instance strategy for AES.
- Get entitlement for AES to ensure you have a license.
- Install AES (the full product, not the application) from the ServiceNow Store. App Engine Studio is a product that contains numerous tools and applications within it, such as Table Builder and Mobile App Builder. If you install the basic AES application and not the full AES product, you won't get its full suite of features and tools.

- AES instance strategy
You should install App Engine Studio (AES) on all ServiceNow instances where users will develop applications. - AES and the ServiceNow Store
App Engine Studio (AES) enables you to obtain new and updated features more rapidly. Before you can use AES, you must verify that you have entitlement to it, meaning that you have valid licenses to use it. Then, you can install AES and its plugins from the ServiceNow Store. - Components installed with AES
Several types of components are installed with activation of the App Engine Studio (AES) plugin, including tables and user roles.
