Version compatibility between LicenseServer and Altova products

New versions of Altova products can only be licensed with the version of LicenseServer that is the latest at the time of the Altova product's release. However, older versions of Altova products will work with newer versions of LicenseServer.

Consequently, if you are installing a new version of an Altova product and if your current LicenseServer version is not the latest, then de-install the older LicenseServer version and install the latest version from the Altova website. All registration and licensing information held in your older version of LicenseServer will be saved at the time of de-installation to a database on your machine, and will be imported automatically into the newer version of LicenseServer.

If you choose to install a newer version of LicenseServer without de-installing your older version, then the older version will be de-installed automatically by the LicenseServer installer before the newer version is installed.

The version number of your LicenseServer is given at the bottom of all tabs of the LicenseServer configuration page.
