      // Test to see if person accounts are enabled.
      public Boolean personAccountsEnabled()
      {
      try
      {
      // Try to use the isPersonAccount field.
      sObject testObject = new Account();
      testObject.get( 'isPersonAccount' );
      // If we got here without an exception, return true.
      return true;
      }
      catch( Exception ex )
      {
      // An exception was generated trying to access the isPersonAccount field
      // so person accounts aren't enabled; return false.
      return false;
      }
      }

      Using isPersonAccount property on an Account and catch any exception that occurs if that property is missing. If an exception is generated then person accounts are disabled. Otherwise they’re enabled. To avoid making person accounts required for the package you assign the Account object to an sObject and use sObject.get( ‘isPersonAccount’ ) rather than accessing that property directly on the Account object.

      Thanks.
