You mention "for that client"... if you are OEM or reseller situation, you should contact sales@appeon.com for OEM license options and costs.

Hi Shameem;

  I've been doing the old PowerServer & SA on AWS for over a decade now (since 2010 actually) with no issues. The new PS 2020 cloud edition works great for me too on that platform.  HTH

Regards ... Chris

Unfortunately, public cloud systems can be a lot more costly than private cloud systems. You'll have to weigh the cost per user vs the return on investment (ROI) to your users. It might be better to just leave them in a standard Client / Server model.

Powerbuilder 2021 and working more than 5 years ????
I think PB 2021 was released just two years ago...

Ok. coming to the possibilities.
1.   Go with PowerServer.   As you said it may not be cost effective for all users/applications.
2.   Re-Write applications to call  db calls as WEB API's.   This could be written in any server side languages (like PHP, C#, ...)

Recently one of my customers (non-technical) told me that the client/server applications could be installed (copied) in Cloud and can work.   I'm not sure about this possibility, yet couldn't get much information from him, as he is non-technical and got this idea (?) from one another software developer.   If others have any idea about this, kindly share.
