What's new in this update:

[+] New updates policy settings:

It's now possible to set a range of allowed Update ID values for free updates. Only updates with Update ID within defined range will be allowed to run on remote machine. Range start and end values can be set to any value between 0 and 999999.

Example: 0 - 10 (only updates with Update ID up to 10 (including 10) will be allowed)
Example: 10 - 20 (only updates with Update ID between 10 and 20, including 10 and 20 will be allowed)

If you are going to enable this feature with existing policy, please be sure to increase Update ID value in your project and enable "Update default updates policy" option so that new policy settings will replace existing policy settings on remote machine as soon as new update is run.

[+] New protection interface structure members and environment variables.

[+] Activation panel/Extend activation panel: reload button added to custom counters section.

If clicked, default custom counters values will be reloaded from project settings.

Activation center (ACEN) 03.20.00 released today.

What's new in this update:

[+] New clients grid control.
[+] Clients page updated.

'Add order' button added to clients table. You can now add new order for a client listed in table without opening client panel first.

[*] Client interface: orders page: serial number is now displayed in orders table instead of payment method.
[+] 'Compatibility mode' option added to program settings.

Select this option to enable compatibility mode for site/mid codes. Site/mid codes from programs protected with old version will be also accepted by activation center. This means that both V5 and V6 programs protected with same application signature and program id will be able to share same program in activation center. There is no need for keeping two different programs in activation center in this way. This also allows transparent upgrading of existing programs in activation center to V6.

This option will be available only if PC Guard version is set to 6.

[+] Added support for merged site/mid codes.

Merged site/mid codes option has been added to program settings. Select this option to enable support for programs protected with "Merge Site/MID codes into single code" option set.

If this option is enabled in program settings merged site/mid code will be used instead of separate site and MID codes in both activation panel for administrator (activation panel) and client interface (license management).

Site and MID codes will still be stored as separate codes in license data.

[>] Upgrade script is available for users upgrading from previous release.
