New Features / Improvements

•New installation code - Windows ID - which is perfect for single user installations as it will seldom change

•New option to use an Expiry Date in a Serial Number. This is especially useful for a time limited full version, when all versions should expire at a certain date. The text on the screen (when creating a Serial Number) changes now depending if the full version is time limited or not

•Parallels for MAC and Windows is now included in the virtual machine detection

•New languages Japanese and Russian added

•A list box appears in all screens, to select a language. This makes it easier for the user to select a language. The list box only appears, when SetRegisterLanguages is used

 

•A new icon to select a language if SetRegisterLanguages is used

•If an error occurs during online activation, the next program start displayed the screen to type in an Unlock Key. This was changed. The next program start  pops-up the screen to select the activation method  so that the user can e.g. switch to e-mail activation

•Depending on the way how the License Viewer was implemented, it could appear in the background of the application. The window handling was changed. The problem could only occur when the COM exe is used.

 

 

Bug Fixes

•Minor language changes in Dutch, Greek, Polish, Spanish and English

•EasyGo dialog in trial mode - only during day 0 (last day of the trial), a wrong screen appeared.

•If Windows is shut down while an application is still running, an error message in German appears. This message is now suppressed. The error only occurred when the COM exe is used

 

 

Necessary Source Code changes from 3.1 to 3.1.2

•Add the DLL to your product and change the ProgID to LicProtector.LicProtectorDLL312

•Add the COM exe to your product and change the ProgID to LicProtector.LicProtectorEXE312
