Newly purchased license files and license files with extended maintenance contracts have maintenance contract period information.
If a maintenance version of Antenna House PDF API is released during the maintenance contract period, you can update to the maintenance version and use it.
Additionally, if you continue to use the service without updating after the maintenance contract period ends, you can continue to use it as before.
However, if you update to maintenance version released after the maintenance contract ends, the Command-line will operate as an evaluation version. Therefore, a watermark string for evaluation is inserted into each page of the output PDF.
Consider renewing your maintenance contract to regularly use the latest maintenance version.
If you want to use the major release version (*) of Antenna House PDF API, you will need to replace the license file.
If the maintenance contract is still valid, you can obtain a new license file by requesting a new license file from sales@antennahouse.com. Contact us if you need a new license file for a major release upgrade.
When you use the point release upgrade, it is not necessary to replace the license file if the version was released within the maintenance period.
(*)
Upgrades are possible within the maintenance support service period. (However, if the price is different between versions, a difference in price may be required.) For details on major version upgrades and point release upgrades, see "Chapter.16 Upgrading" in this manual.
