Overview
Old licensing was originally introduced in 2013 and it's time for changes in order to simplify the rules for customers convenience. New licensing was introduced with License Statistics 6.0 and become the default licensing model for the application. According to the rules described below old licensing will be still supported in License Statistics 6.0 and above.
Trial
As of License Statistics 6.0 the application will start Trial with new licensing rules. All values displayed on License Details page in Administration will be calculated according to new licensing rules.
Old licensing termination
We are not planning to terminate support for old licensing for existing customers. All licenses will continue to work and it will be possible to extend the maintenance on regular rules, however:
- new customers are not able to buy the old license after License Statistics 6.0 was released
- until March 15, 2020 it will be possible to buy an add-on and extend the existing license using old licensing
- after March 15, 2020 it won't be possible to extend the license using old licensing and transition to new licensing will be required in order to extend the license
- due to technical limitations License Statistics 5.x is not going to support new licensing, so in order to extend the license after March 15, 2020 upgrade to License Statistics 6.x will be required
