Display Modification History version 2.7
First check, if you have a valid update subscription to update from any prior version to version 2.7.
You can find your current version number in the TAB Help, Note: Updates can only be applied if your update subscription has not expired. You find your subscription status in the TAB Help, Example for update to 2.7
Although today the Update Subscription has expired, it was not expired at the update due date. The update can be applied. This ensures that you can install an update at any time you like. Subscription Expired If your subscription has expired but you bought a subscription, check your order confirmation e-mail. You got a separate Activation Key for the update subscription. Apply this key in your currently installed Licence Protector version. If you cannot find your order confirmation e-mail or the key for the subscription, contact cs@cleverbridge.com. |
Update Procedure for Licence Protector - Version 2.7
• | If you installed a BETA version uninstall it |
• | Download the update from the website - click here - and install it on a new folder - e.g. ..\Licence Protector\2.7 |
• | Copy your old license file from version 2.4.x, 2.5.x, 2.6.x (with valid update subscription) to the new folder. It must be the license file which was already in use and activated and not the license file from the order confirmation e-mail (which has no update subscription key applied and is not activated). You do not need a Serial Number because your existing license file is used. If you want to upgrade from a version 2.3 or prior, you have to send your license file to support@mirage-systems.de |
• | Start the License Generator - the file is automatically converted. If you get a message, that the update subscription is missing - see chapter Check for update subscription before you contact support |
• | Install the Automatic License Generator. Copy now the new, converted license file from the ..\Licence Protector\2.7 to the folder, where you installed the Automatic License Generator |
• | There is no change necessary for the Activation Server. Do not copy the license file 2.7 to your Activation Server |
• | To install on multiple PC's see new chapter - License Usage and installation on multiple PC's |
Necessary Source Code changes
As existing DLL commands have not been changed (based on version 2.6.4), only a few steps are necessary to use the new DLL
• | Add the DLL and change the ProgID, CLASSID, IID or LIBID |
• | Correct your CRC check of the DLL - new CRC values. This step is only necessary if you implemented a CRC check of the DLL |
Backward compatibility
License File and Activation Keys
• | The LicProtector270.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 (2.7) and it can not be opened again with an older DLL.
Example
• | A version 2.6.x DLL can read an Activation Key, which was made with License Generator version 2.7 |
• | A version 2.6.x DLL cannot open a license file, which was made with License Generator version 2.7 |
• | A version 2.6.x License Generator cannot open a license file, which was made with License Generator version 2.7 |
Activation Server
• | The Activation Server 3.0 can accept activation requests from prior DLL versions |
• | The Activation Server 3.0 supports all features from Licence Protector 2.7 |
• | The Activation Server versions below 3.0 accept activation requests from 2.7 but some features (e.g. new installation codes) 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 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.
Changes in the project template
• | Define the module, which is used as the main module in combination with a Serial Number - use the TAG <IsSerial> |
