Existing deployed client applications and existing license files will continue to work with the new version. However, new license files cannot be used by older applications.
If you distribute floating licenses, your end users must also upgrade their LM-X license server, because the old license server cannot support new licenses (that is, we cannot provide "future" compatibility). In most cases, borrowed licenses will also continue to work. However, borrowed licenses rely on using Secure Store, so if Secure Store is changed (which is rare), borrowed licenses will not be backward compatible.
- If you are using any external shared libraries—for example, for .NET, Java, etc.—you must also deploy these new versions with your software.
- You can install multiple versions of LM-X, but do not mix files between different distributions, because this can cause problems such as compilation or runtime errors. The only file that can safely be shared between platforms is the security configuration file, security_config.lmx.
