Release Notes

25.08.0🔗

The documentation has been extended and made available online.
Added support to run the License Server as a native system service on Windows and Linux (via Windows Service Manager and systemd), and introduced logging to file with log file rotation.
Licenses without an expiration date were incorrectly interpreted as older than expired licenses during an update, causing expired licenses to be treated as updates. This problem has been fixed.
In rare cases, when updating a license served by the License Server, the “licenses in use” metric was computed incorrectly. This problem has been fixed.
CodeMeter package was updated to version 8.30a.

Added support for the new edition model of HALCON 24.11. Starting with HALCON 24.11 a HALCON Progress license also unlocks the HALCON Steady edition. If a request for a HALCON Steady license >= 24.11 is received, the License Server checks first if a valid HALCON Steady license is available, and then falls back to use a valid HALCON Progress license if available.
We have simplified the licensing process by removing the requirement for license slots. Now, both License Server Cloud-Ready and License Server On-Premises variants also accept licenses which are not bound to slots.
Update CodeMeter to version 8.20.

Update CodeMeter to version 8.00a.
License Servers that served different licenses (regarding version and modules) did not select the ideal license when a new request for a license was made. This problem has been fixed.
Revalidating a session with an expired license resulted in a deadlock in the session handling. This problem has been fixed.

Add support for “Cloud Ready” licensing Now the license server can use CmCloud licenses in addition to dongles as licensing anchor.
Introduce short UUIDs for license identification.
The License Server ignored the config file lying next to the License Server executable. This problem has been fixed.
Update CodeMeter to version 7.60d

Renew the License Server certificate to enhance its longevity. It no longer comes with an expiration date, ensuring uninterrupted service.
Update handling of disconnected dongle. The license server does not shut down anymore when the dongle is disconnected. Instead, license issuance is paused until a valid dongle is reconnected. This provides a more resilient and uninterrupted service experience.
Add a new health endpoint showing the protection state of the License Server.
Add client remote address as part of session metrics as optional configuration. By default, it is deactivated.
Add licenses dynamically without restarting the License Server.
Improve handling of update licenses. When two licenses with the same UUID but different expiration dates are found, the license server will only keep the one the expires later.
Update CodeMeter to version 7.60c.

The license server now accepts SDK and Runtime licenses that share the same UUID.
On x64-linux systems running in virtual machines the float-id of the dongle could not be determined correctly. This problem has been fixed.

First public release.
Fixed problems with Subject Alternative Names (SAN) in self-signed server certificates.
