The latest main release number is 3.0. There are 3 installation packages:
| • | Licence Protector - Version 3.0 |
| • | Automatic License Generator - Version 30 |
| • | Activation Server - Version 3.1 |
Backward compatibility
License File and Activation Keys
| • | The LicProtector300.DLL can read all Activation Keys from and all license files from any prior version. |
If a license file is opened, it is automatically converted into the latest file format (3.0) and it can not be opened again with an older DLL.
Example
| • | A version 2.0.x DLL can read an Activation Key, which was made with License Generator version 3.0 |
| • | A version 2.0.x DLL cannot open a license file, which was made with License Generator version 3.0 |
| • | A version 2.0.x License Generator cannot open a license file, which was made with License Generator version 3.0 |
As new options in the project template are stored in the license file, a new product activation will only work with a license file created with Generator 3.0 and the new settings. Old license files are converted when the file is opened into 3.0 format, but with a one to one conversion of the existing license file definition.
It is possible to use the new DLL with old license files (and no new functionality). This requires the following changes
Before you use the command PrepareAndCheck you need the following code sequence to update the license file
|
You have to change your workflow files in the folder \alg. In the entry for the main module you have to add <WebActivation>done</WebActivation>
Example
|
Activation Server
| • | The Activation Server 3.1 can accept activation requests from prior DLL versions |
| • | The Activation Server 3.1 supports all features from Licence Protector 3.0. It is mandatory to upgrade to Activation Server version 3.1 if the 3.0.x DLL is used |
| • | The Activation Server versions below 3.0 accept activation requests from 3.0 but some features (e.g. license transfer of a complete license file, upload/download a license file) are not supported |
If you use the Hosting Server, then the files are automatically updated if you have a valid update subscription. Never install the Activation Server update manually.
Automatic License Generator
As the Automatic License Generator creates license files and Activation Keys, see restrictions above regarding format of the file and key.
