A version is a combination of a major version (n) and a minor version (m) expressed in the "Vn.m" format. An increase in n is called a major version upgrade, and an increase in m is called a point release version upgrade. A maintenance release version is a product in which the old and new version numbers (n and m in Vn.m) are the same, and only the release date is new. The MR number is written after the version number.
For other details regarding version upgrades, see "Chapter.16 Upgrading" in this manual.

A new license file for major version upgrades is available within the maintenance contract period. To obtain one, please request it from the following contact point:

To use a maintenance release version released after the maintenance period written in the license file has passed, you must replace the license file with one that has the updated maintenance period.
The maintenance period for the license file may have expired. You will need to replace the license file with one that has an updated maintenance deadline. If you have already renewed your maintenance contract, replace it with the new license file you received.

The Windows version of Antenna House PDF API is developed using Microsoft's Visual C++ (VC++). Therefore, a runtime library that is binary compatible with the VC++ version used for development is required. The installer will launch the VC++ redistributable package installer if necessary.
The installer for Antenna House PDF API launches the Microsoft VC++ redistributable package installer. When an older VC++ runtime is present in your environment, the Microsoft VC++ redistributable package typically replaces it with the newer one. Note that you may be asked to restart Windows at this time.
The Microsoft VC++ redistributable installer may display a "Setup Failed" screen when a newer runtime is present. In this case, if you close the error screen, the installation will continue and complete successfully. Even if "Setup Failed" is displayed, there is no problem in using Antenna House PDF API.
