ABOUT Cross compatibility between the new and old activation system

As we started rolling out applications in 2025 with a new activation system, we wanted to make sure that this was seamless to our users. The good news is that both systems are completely cross compatible:

• You do not need new serial numbers. All your past serial numbers can be used in the new activation system.
• Newly created licenses are compatible with the old activation system.
• In the Softron License Manager platform, you can add a license that was activated with the old system. You will see the MAC address of the last computer it was activated on. You will just not be able to do some actions such as a "Force release".
• The migration between the 2 activation system is made easy for you. Just start the application that uses the new activation system, and you will be offered to do the migration.
• Even if you have started to use the new activation system, you can still use the old activation system later on (if you want to revert back to an older version of the application). Just make sure to deactivate or release the license to be able to activate it in either the old or new system.
