Hello @Winfakt_bv

What kind of installation do you use?

3

I am using backendless trial version.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, you can’t do it on a trial plan.

Connection external databases are allowed only for managed/pro installations.

Thank you

One thing more, in your price page, it says this:

“The beauty of our free trial is that it gives you a access to the full functionality of the Backendless platform. There are no features hidden or off-limits that you would otherwise get on a paid Cloud plan.”

Thanks!

Hi @Winfakt_bv ,

Connection to external databases are not available for Cloud version (all Cloud billing plans) of our system.
Pro/Managed versions of Backendless are standalone installations which are hosted on separate servers and configured individually for each client.

So there are no contradiction between trial plan description and absence of this feature for all cloud plans. On trial you get “Cloud 99” features for free for 1 month.
