Renew a Debugging Session

If your ISV Customer Debugger session expires, don’t panic—just start a new one. To renew a session, drag the icon from Setup to Eclipse, just like you did to start your first session.

Force.com IDE is in a maintenance-only state. We still provide support for the product through our official channels, but updates prior to October 12, 2019 will be only for critical security issues that arise. On October 12, 2019, we will no longer provide support or updates of any kind for Force.com IDE. On that date, we will also begin archiving documentation and removing download links for the product. We recommend that you start migrating to Salesforce Extensions for Visual Studio Code or one of the great tools made by our partners. For more information, see The Future of Salesforce IDEs on the Salesforce Developers Blog.

Warning

For details on how to start a session, see Initiate a Debugging Session from Setup.
