Important Changes

In an effort to tighten security, generic license keys are no longer supported by default. Generic license keys are licenses that do not require activation and are not bound to a computer identifier. For example, if you embed a trial license in your source code, you are using a generic license key. After upgrading to this version, validation of a generic license key will fail unless you reenable it. To enable generic license keys on the client side, you must set the QlmLicense.AllowGenericKeys to true. To enable generic license keys on the server side, you must set the “security/AllowGenericKeys” server property to true.

When programmatically creating a QlmLicense object, the QLM Engine Version is now set to 6.0.00 by default. To force the QLM Engine Version to 5.0.00, you must explicitly set the QlmLicense.Version property to 5.0.00. This is required before calling any QLM API that creates license keys or modifies license keys such as subscription renewals, license upgrades, license updates, and license activation. If you are using the LicenseValidator class, you can either regenerate the LicenseValidator class or simply set the QlmLicense.Version property in the LicenseValidator constructor. For more information, read about the new QLM License Models.

When creating licenses from the QLM Management Console or the QLM Portal, you need to ensure that the Engine Version is set according to your requirements. If you are an existing customer and you upgrade to QLM v17 on your current computer, the default settings for the Engine Version will be 5.0.00. However, if you are an existing customer and you install QLM on a new computer, the default settings for the Engine Version will be 6.0.00. Follow the instructions here to configure your system to create license keys using Engine Version 5.0.00 by default.

The QlmLicenseLibNetCore.dll and QlmLicenseLibNetStd.dll have been renamed to QlmLicenseLib.dll. This applies to the files distributed within the QLM installation as well as the QlmLicenseLib nuget package.

 

The QLM License Server Gateway is now decommissioned.

 

Update to the LicenseValidator class to support the new QLM License Models. If you use the new License Models introduced with QLM v17, you will need to regenerate the LicenseValidator class.
