Backward compatibility

Activation Keys

The LicProtector500.DLL can read all Activation Keys from prior version. It can also create Activation Keys which will work in older versions.

 

License Files

If a license file is opened, it is automatically converted into the latest file format (5.0) and it can not be opened again with an older DLL. Only version 4 license files can be converted automatically.

 

Example

A version 4.x  DLL can read an Activation Key, which was made with License Generator version 5

A version 4.x DLL can not open a license file, which was made with License Generator version 5

A version 4.x License Generator can not open a license file, which was made with License Generator version 5

 

 
 

Activation Server

 

The Activation Server 5 can accept transactions from prior DLL versions

The Activation Server 5 supports all features from Licence Protector 5.0. It is mandatory to upgrade to Activation Server version 5 if the metrics feature, license transfer or license file upload is used

 

If you use the hosting service, your server will be automatically upgraded.

 

Automatic License Generator
