LM-X License Manager version 4.8 includes the fixes and enhancements detailed below. The changes in this release were made primarily in response to customer feedback. For more information about how we incorporate customer feedback into our development process, see Customer-driven development.
Due to declining usage of NPAPI plugins, Google is carrying out its depreciation plan to remove NPAPI support from Chrome. In September 2015 NPAPI support will be permanently removed from Chrome; therefore, installed Java extensions that require NPAPI plugins will no longer be able to load such plugins. As a result of these changes, LM-X GUI applet has been converted to an independent application, LM-X License Server Client, which is located in the end-user tools directory.
With this release, we're also adding support for Visual Studio 2015 and Windows 10.
As of this release we discontinue shipping builds for the following platforms: AIX PPC64 and HP-UX (64-bit) IA64.
