About this task
The first time you sign in to the Developer Site, you are given a PDI running the latest generally available release. You can use this PDI as long as you keep it active. If you want a PDI running an earlier release, release your PDI and request a new instance.
If you do not have a PDI because you released your PDI or went longer than ten days without activity, can request a new instance.
Procedure
Sign in to the Developer Site.
Click the Request Instance button in the header.
In the Request an Instance dialog, select a ServiceNow® release for the instance and click the Request button.
